Hi all,
I've been running molly-brown for some time and I really like its
flexibility when it comes to handling funky mime types. I've been hosting
a gemini mirror to textfiles.com for a while and lot of these files
have random
file extensions but they are actually all plain text files. With molly, I
can define mime types like this:
[MimeOverrides]
"atom.xml$" = "application/atom+xml"
"rss.xml$" = "application/rss+xml"
".$" = "text/plain"
".gmi$" = "text/gemini"
".tgz$" = "application/gzip"
".zip$" = "application/zip"
".tar.gz$" = "application/gzip"
That way anything that isn't defined is automatically assumed to be
"text/plain" which works great for me.
I tried using gmnisrv and it has some wonderful features like certificate
generation and the ability to create multiple capsules however, custom
mime types must be managed manually which means that I would probably need
to rename every file in the textfiles collection to .txt or .gmi which I
really don't want to do.
I'm looking for suggestions for a server that can give me all of these
functions together in one place. Thanks!
shameless self-promotion :)
I've never used molly brown nor gmnisrv, but my server gmid[0] haslocation blocks and settings customizable per-location block. Thatmeans that you can either
server "example.com" { cert "..." key "..." root "..."
# set the default mime to text/plain default type "text/plain" }
or even
server "example.com" { cert "..." key "..." root "..."
location "/text-files/*" { default type "text/plain" } }
to change the `default type' only for files that matches "/text-file/*".It's also possible to define custom mime-types per extensions using the`map mime-type to-ext extension', see the manpage for usage andexamples.
Regarding the automatic renewal of certificates, there's nothing in thecurrent last version (v1.7.5) but in -master there's an helper script incontrib/ to automatically renew the certificates (it's meant to be ranfrom a crontab or similar) and I'd like to tag the 1.8 with the newyear.
