If the application is accepting a request to e.g. /my-file.txt, then the content-type isn't automatically being set to "text/plain" by Tomcat... it's up to the servlet to do that. The Mime-Mappings are available to servlets, but it's pretty rare for a custom servlet to bother actually using them. > As noted in the SO post, I can see that > StandardContext:addMimeMapping() is being called with my specific > mapping during initialization.

You said you don't want to modify the source... what about *adding* to it? Would it be okay to write a Filter and add it to the configuration of the application? That is a very easy thing to do, and you can add whatever headers you want for whatever reason. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYsGl1AAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYCkwP/i1lBjt3v6zsdYMWafdCNoTj cIlYc3P6AAafDED7/Sf/8H3RQ1uOrp9n0DuM6hnjrh55ptv/VoAGDY3836ONSQ8S ldWDJOipeTFW2byOeWc9fjT9+AJJ0B/3BidjUFgmljsyCw+f71ZYvHt2ECXNoXOO T1nQG/OqqTnRZ54UZ1/d/PyZJSbEw1YHmS3f5DFfhtDHjgOS2bBsuQvSvX2XCUjK lEcdCTbP1XaIU2jMIlRLF///i1Ytz2OsS12byt+tnotRC0MIVr1ST8Je6yvgaBLw JHnStDdSJW4yFiy9aW8L54qChmdr1KCybavsnEHJKKgc7R5n+2qY2wDm4RwXl8b3 Aqyc9A5ELGhL/xn+kf3w4sC41yEAUXitYJyNkg33o69XoV+nxLfmuWTEqANwh5K+ RRsDQXTnnNZx9fewHpg2+/OnWUkLxaCtqfInU907c7AyXnuJ1jhWD9tBMXFy1SBA jCQfj7U6hL/LsjQRPdpl0I0qpQ/KrxuCdBLCWwl28xwdXu21enlCV6ZvgHe3z6Vc HVTc3dB/QbFNHJ9Qm1tbemOPTfR8rr2rycu3dcEXNlmwAwZ3yPASQGPnILZnxDyD q1VmitMK3vfvoErXfMJ8yrPluQXRMus3f6Guu5k3gIYA/y9a+FUmUZ3pMPaTl69M wLc5oAFEfPZcqfIdZlRd =TfdZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
