MP4 Content-Type Header

[Justin Dorfman]

Hello All,


I am noticing when I run curl on a MP4 file I get the
application/octet-stream content type:


curl -I http://192.168.3.117/videofile.mp4

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/octet-stream


Is there a reason why it wouldn't be "video/mp4"?

A few users have said "it is causing issues in players". (vague I know)


Here is the vhost: https://gist.github.com/4b4e6e8ce2506d35b168 (very
long to paste in here IMO, if I am breaking a rule I am sorry, I will
paste it in the email from now on)


nginx version: nginx/1.2.0

configure arguments: --with-http_stub_status_module
--with-http_ssl_module --with-http_secure_link_module
--add-module=/home/justin/ngx_cache_purge-1.5
--add-module=/home/justin/ngx_mp4_module-0.9.4
--add-module=/home/justin/ngx_flv_module-0.9


Thanks in advance!
