NGINX perl module to server files

[Jorge Sanchez]

Hello list,

here is the strace of the NGINX serving my media file (Jpg) to the client:

Accepting the connection:

25003 accept4(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53907),
sin_addr=inet_addr("XXX.XXX.XXX.XX")}, [16], SOCK_NONBLOCK) = 3

Opening the file:
25003 open("/usr/site/gruppe/media/t_pics/images/thumbs/714.jpg",
O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE) = 15
25003 fstat64(15, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=5420, ...}) = 0

Sending the file to the client with sendfile:
25003 sendfile64(3, 15, [0], 5420)      = 5420


So from above it turns out that there were no headers sent and thus the
status code probably defaulted to "000" on NGINX.

Adding the send_http_header before the $r->sendfile() solves the issue.
$r->send_http_header();

Now I have the correct HTTP status code, anyway the content type defaults
to "application/octet-stream" which is configured as default content type
on nginx. Well, is there a way to have NGINX correctly set the Content-Type
after handling the request on perl content handler or should I make my own
mapping and set the content-type myself in send_http_header ?

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx/1.5.5 Date: Sun, 01 Sep 2013 21:17:41 GMT
Content-Type: application/octet-stream Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive


Regards,

Jorge
