hello developers,

I was looking for some bugreports regarding mimetypes.php and found one that suggested that mimetypes.php should be removed.
Did I understand that correctly?

Mimetypes.php as it is now (in the xref at least) disregards the mimetypes file that apache has itself. IMHO is should try to use that info first if available, and only as a last resort define its own stuff.

Maybe mimetypes.php should be improved to first check for the mime_content_type function, and only use it's own stuff when that is not available or returns a non-helpfull mimetype.
