Pissed at Lighttpd

I'm so pissed at lighttpd... they have a feature where you can use xattrs to set the mime type of a file... but you can't *change* it. At least in debian, there is a script which parses /etc/mime.types and includes them in the config file. I checked the lighttpd code, and if the mime type is set in the config file, an xattr does not override it. This seems to be intentional too. WTF! What if I want a .patch file to appear as plain text? I would have to change the config file!

Maybe i'll change it and build my own debian package.

Edit: I did fix it, and built my own debian package. Here is a patch.
