You can use Apache to do it but it's probably less efficient:
$lookup=$r->lookup_file($fullPathAndFilename);
$mime_type=$lookup->content_type();
but that does a full subrequest to my knowledge. I'd recommend a perl
module that emulates the 'file' command:
use File::MimeInfo::Magic;
$mime_type=mimetype($fullPathAndFilename);
If you haven't used it before, note that Magic doesn't use the file
extension, it checks content - 'man magic'
Finally if you are manually telling Apache to deliver a file from disk,
make sure you update Apache's 'stat' info:
if(stat($r->document_root.$r->uri)){
my $filename=$r->document_root.$r->uri;
$r->filename($filename);
$r->finfo(APR::Finfo::stat($filename, APR::Const::FINFO_NORM,
$r->pool));
return DECLINED; # fall back to Apache for normal file delivery
}
return NOT_FOUND;
