Webp MIME Type on Apache 2.4 using magic file

[richard....@gmail.com]

Does anyone have the lines to add to the Apache 2.4 'magic' file to define the webp mime type as image/webp?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure how to making Apache support  a new magic (it probably involves sending a patch somewhere).

But, as a starting point, here's how to make the 'file' command under Unix recognize some webp file more precisely

than just "RIFF" (which is the default).

In you /etc/magic file, just add the following specific entries:

# RIFF xxxx WEBP

0       string  RIFF

>8      string  WEBP    WEBP image format

>>12    string  VP8X

>>>30   string  ALPH    (with alpha)

>>12    string  VP8\    (lossy)

>>12    string  VP8L    (lossless)

!:mime  image/webp

I didn't list all the possible variations of header content, beside the common one (RIFFxxxxWEBP).

But this list should cover most common cases.

hope it helps,
