The message is over when Content-Length bytes have been served.
On dynamic documents, either the size is calculated before the document is delivered, or it is delivered in
chunks, with a Content-Length header on each chunk. (This is called ”chunked encoding”.)
7.2 MIME configuration
TypesConfig
conf/mime.types
Maps types to file extensions
audio/x-realaudio ra
video/mpeg mpeg mpg mpe
Don’t add mime types here
Not case sensitive, dot not required
The reason that you don’t edit the TypesConfig file is that on “make install” the TypesConfig file is overwritten, always,
no matter what changes you have made to it. Changes may have been made to this file at the standards-board level,
and you need to get those new file types, or whatever. So you should make your changes using the directives below to
alter the MIME types mappings.

AddType image/png .png
AllowOverride FileInfo lets you put these in .htaccess files
