Re: [civetweb] Embedding server: how to return binary file?

[bel]

An example for mg_send_mime_file is here:
https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb/blob/master/src/civetweb.c#L7060

Using NULL as the last argument will automatically determine the mime type from the file ending, otherwise it will return the file type you specified (in handle_static_file_request). The automatic detection of the mime type will use a list of known file endings (https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb/blob/master/src/civetweb.c#L5348). This list can be extended using the extra_mime_types configuration options. If you always have the same file ending, this might be the easiest option. I do not know the "video/MP2T" mime type - could it be "video/mpeg" or "video/mp4" - I'm not an expert on video types.

Hello,
Just been playing with Civet - thanks for this!
I've manged to embed it in a C++ test app, & return non-binary content. I'm struggling with trying to return binay data via the conn handler:

const char mime[] = "video/MP2T";
mg_send_mime_file(conn, test_file, mime);

my test_file is simply an mpeg2-ts file, which is part of a valis m3u8 (HLS) playlist.  I can post Wireshark captures of the HTTP headers from Apache and from Civet (the former works, the latter doesn't), but before I do, is there anything else I should set, or is there another way I should do this? I can't find any examples of using mg_send_mime_file().

Thanks!

Thanks. I've got it working for now using mg_write, & not doing anything with the mime types. I may need to look again, depends how fussy some of the video players are.

Regards,
Tim.
