Mime type text/plain

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

i’m trying to get some files delivered via nginx. These files are
textfiles containing HTML code. They don’t have any file extension (and
i can’t change that due to special reasons). I’d like to deliver them
with Content-Type text/html instead of text/plain which is chosen bei
nginx due to reasons i don’t know.

I’ve set default content type to text/html and also do explicitly set
the conten type via add/header. Unfortunately the text/plain content
type get’s set before what results in a a header like this.
“Content-Type text/plain text/html”. In Safari this leads to a plain
text display of the code instead of rendering the website.

How can i overwrite the content type to text/html for files without
extenions?

Thanks,
Frank

The default type is already in place inside the location part of the
config. Unfortunately this doesn’t help :frowning:

Could you create a debug log ?
