Thanks! As it turns out...for my use, that was very sufficient -- about 25 entries after the text/plain line took care of my needs (and should need little management). I am pretty sure I tried the "Whole filename" thing on nginx, and it didn't work, so when I saw the "compatible with the format used by nginx" in httpd.conf(5), I didn't test on httpd. :-/ >> (and grumpy about this CP/M-MSDOS concept of "extension" on Unix ...) > > Maybe you should campaign for using file(1) instead. Er, hmmm. > Or maybe not... :-/ file(1), no, though I'll admit it crossed my mind -- briefly. I was thinking more along the lines of globbing or (IFF it could be done safely and efficiently) RegEx, or even significantly subsetted regex. Nick.
