Hi!

I run a website, changing now from FCGI to PSGI using Plack as server. The behaviour should be the same as with the old Apache website, (which I configured with .htaccess files for each directory) so I want to use js when it is needed, and show it as text/plain when someone clicks such a non binary file in my download directory.

I don't want to use dancer etc now, because I had to make big changes to the website then (FCGI and PSGI are quite similar to use). I tested a bit and the behaviour seems to be version dependent (on Windows it works, on CentOS not), but I want a safe way using different Plack::MIME instances for different directories.

What I have now uses the same Plack::MIME instance and doesn't work correctly when I include .html, .css etc there: 

use Plack::Builder;
use Plack::MIME;

# normal behaviour  /html/
# special behaviour /html/downloads/

for my $expr (
         ".c", ".cpp",".csv", ".dat", ".dpl"
       , ".gp", ".h", ".hpp", ".ini"
       , ".java", "makefile", ".m", ".mac"
       , ".pl", ".pm", ".pod", ".py"
       , "README", ".sch", ".sh", ".txt") {
  Plack::MIME->add_type($expr => 'text/plain');
} 
 
builder {
  enable 'Plack::Middleware::Static',
    path => qr{/html/}, root => '.';

  # normal behaviour:
  # needs a new content_type instance! how doing this?
  # enable 'Plack::Middleware::Static',
  #   path => qr{^/html/(?!downloads).*\.
  #              (css|gif|jpg|js|pdf|png)$}, root => '.'; 
      
  mount "/" => $app1;
  mount "/imggenerator.pl" => $app2;
};

I could treat every single file in my $app1, but I think configuring that with Plack should be possible.
