Function http_mime_fields

This function can be used to define what MIME fields should be sent to HTTP clients in response to GET requests for specified file names.

typedef struct mime_for_pages { 
    const char * web_page;     // Partial file name. An empty 
                               // string means apply to all web pages 
    const char * mime_fields;  // MIME fields separated by "\r\n" 
} MIME_FOR_PAGES; 

void http_mime_fields(struct mime_for_pages * web_fields);

Parameters

web_fields

Pointer to an array of struct mime_for_pages structures associating file names with MIME fields. The last entry must be {NULL, NULL}.

The Web servers goes through the supplied list comparing each web_page entry with the tail (case sensitive, not only the extension) of the requested file name. If a match is found, the search is terminated and the corresponding MIME field will be included in the header of the server's response. If an empty web_page string is encountered in the search, that header will also be added to the response headers.

Example:

struct mime_for_pages my_mime_headers[] = 
{ 
    {"", "X-Custom-Header: Any old string"}, 
    {".htm", "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"}, 
    {".sdp", "Content-Type: application/sdp"}, 
    {NULL, NULL} 
}; 
... 
http_mime_fields(my_mime_headers);

Added MIME headers which contain a "Content-Type:" header replace the default Content-Type usually supplied by the server automatically.
