[Yanel-dev] [Bug 7117] New: add more mime-type to guessMimeType(String extension)

[simon]

hi all

i have again a problem with a missing mime-type definition. i would like =

to update the svg-edit resource type =

(http://trac.yanel-contribution.3k3.org/wiki/svg-edit) to the newest =

version of svg-edit. since it uses svg icons, i need svg files served =

via resource-type htdocs with the right mime-type.
i would very appreciate if one could apply the attached patch. i know =

you suggested to use a lib for this. but i don't have much time at the =

moment and i'm not sure how long it takes to implement the below =

suggested way. and the patch is just one line.

i attached this patch to the mail since my old bugzilla account is =

deleted, and i don't get the password mail after i made a new one. maybe =

someone could take care of this as well.

cheers
simon

ps: i still would like to see my first patch to be applied. there is =

always a better way of doing something, but if we have something that =

works why not using it until someone has time/will to implement the =

better way? in this case it's certainly easy to refactor later on.
