mime types

[Gregg Reynolds]

Thanks, that makes sense.  (FYI I've lots of tech experience but not
in this area.)  The problem is that I'm experimenting with maximum
security configs, so I'm running PHP in its own chroot, separate from
the webserver and mysql.  Basically everything sequestered, so each
component sees only what it needs to see.

Since wordpress code, including styles, jpegs, etc. is installed in
the PHP chrooted tree, I have to go through PHP to get at it.  I could
always run a dedicated nginx instance in the PHP jail, so requests for
e.g. css files could bypass the PHP service, but it would be better to
have PHP handle it all.  Maybe.  Dunno, just experimenting.

So I still have the question of what nginx does with the content-type
of a message coming from PHP.  I'm guessing the problem is PHP is
serving up the wrong content type, and nginx just passes it along.  Is
that accurate?

BTW, is there a way to log the message received from the upstream PHP server?

Thanks,

gregg
