I suppose the wildcard catch-all is the only option (so see above for the default behavior); I haven't found any other configuration option. I suppose you can also define a "Content Type" REG_SZ value in the Windows registry for the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* key, but this also applies to all unknown extensions. > 4) can one configure it to send a particular content-type header for > files with no filename extension?
