mimeware

Node.js HTTP server middleware to infer and define the proper MIME content type as response header

It works in multiple web frameworks such as Connect, Express, Restify, Sails... which implements the standard connect-based middleware interface: use(function (req, res, next) { ... })

Includes all 600+ types and 800+ extensions defined by the Apache project, plus additional types submitted by the node.js community. Uses node-mime

It was implemented specially for older Express/Connect versions

  res.send('Hello World!')
})
