Hello,

I have an issue with try_files and content-type ( nginx 0.7.34 ), it doesn't use the cache file extention to discover the mime.type so if we call a direct file host/sitemap.xml content type is ok, but if I call a directory host/faq/ the returned content-type is the default.

My default_type is set to application/octet-stream, my application is directory base ( host/faq/, host/register/ ), I only have a few call to files ( host/robots.txt host/sitemap.xml )

Most of the content is text/html but I can be sometimes for exemple text/xml or application/pdf.

For instance /cachedir/faq/host.index.html is the cache file for http://host/faq ( I use host in the cache file name to handle languages ) I could have a pdf version of the faq at the following url http://host/faq/pdf/ then the cache file would be /cachedir/faq/pdf/host.index.pdf

the problem is that once cached try_file would return the default_type for all those urls.

I don't know if this is the expected beavhiour, I expected try_files to return the type according to the cache file extension. Of course I can use text/html as default type but in this case I cannot handle multiple types fils within the same location.

with the old fashion way:

if (-f $request_filename/$host.index.html) { rewrite (.*) $uri/ $host.index.html break; } if (-f $request_filename/$host.index.pdf) { rewrite (.*) $uri/ $host.index.pdf break; }

types where correct.

Below three tests, first one a direct call returning content type is the one expected. Then my expected result would have been text/html instead of application/octet-stream

xav - is sorry for poor english xD
