most common mime-types, selected various sources according to their usefulness in a webserving scope for Ruby users.

To amend this list with your local mime.types list you can use:

    require 'webrick/httputils'
    list = WEBrick::HTTPUtils.load_mime_types('/etc/mime.types')
    Rack::Mime::MIME_TYPES.merge!(list)

To add the list mongrel provides, use:

    require 'mongrel/handlers'
    Rack::Mime::MIME_TYPES.merge!(Mongrel::DirHandler::MIME_TYPES)
