Setting mime type on Hippo document?

[Elizabeth Reid]

As far as I can tell, the mime type on documents generated by Hippo is set to text/html by default. Which makes sense; most documents managed through Hippo are going to be web pages. 

However, we have a special case where we need to dynamically generate a CSS file based on settings in a Doc Type. We have everything working to render the CSS file contents (hst:template entry hooked to a template, hst:pages entry hooked to the hst:template, hst:sitemap entry hooked to the hst:page). The resulting CSS file contents load at the requested URL, but the content type is served with the text/html content type.

Is there a way (through Hippo) to change the mime type served for this page to text/css so that it will be treated correctly as a CSS file?

Thanks

Hi Elizabeth,

would something like calling response.setHeader() in the HST component work?

We were trying to avoid adding backend code just for this, if possible. I did notice that there's a mix:mimeType under the Mixin Types, which certainly sounds like it should be related to what we're trying to do, but I haven't found any documentation on it or how one might use it.

William,

Is there any way to call response.setHeader() from within a Freemarker template? If that was possible, that might solve the problem, but I'm not sure the Freemarker templates have that kind of logic available in them.

After a lot of searching on Google, I finally found a solution to this. You can specify a custom mime type in the Freemarker Template by setting the attributes parameter on the <#ftl> tag, as so:

<#ftl encoding="UTF-8" attributes={"content_type": "text/css"}>

It does appear that this has to be first line in the template or there's a parsing error. But once it's in there, requesting the CSS file correctly sends back a type of text/css in the headers.

Great Elizabeth,

Im not a tech guy, but think your research and input is great and by the sound of it very useful
