Hello, The comment about the registry was there before I made any changes. My only change was to add 'text/xml' as content-type for extension 'xml'. For now my only need is this extra content-type, not another way of managing the list of content-types.
When using Flash, if you have the need to do cross-domain-scripting, you have to have a file called crossdomain.xml on the root, defining the rules for crossdomain-scripting. And the content-type has to be text/xml when downloaded to flash from a server in order to work.

What I propose is that a simple list of mappings between extensions and MIME types be kept and maintained with ICS (there are many of these available already), and that an efficient mechanism be built into the HttpSrv to load these on start up to some sort of searchable memory structure. I have done this in the past using a custom Red and Black Balanced Tree, which can then be searched to find the MIME type of a file extension (and even its transport encoding). I actually implemented this for automatic file encodings of SMTP attachments. By keeping it in a simple list, like Apache does, it can be easily extended and maintained. dZ. -- DZ-Jay [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be No virus found in this incoming message.
