Mime-type for static assets

[Mark Waddle]

I am serving WOFF (Web Open Font Format) files with Play. The mimetype for .woff files is not included in the defaults for Play so it responds with a content-type of "application/octet-stream".

I tried to specify a custom mimetype in the application.conf like the following, but it doesn't seem to have any effect:

mimetype.woff="application/font-woff"

I tried clean/compile, reload, etc. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

And as an aside, to find out this was possible I had to crack open the Play code. This should probably be documented as it is a common need when serving static resources.

Thanks for any help!

Sorry for not including the version in the subject line. This is for [2.0.4 scala]. Thanks!

Play 2 does not read mimetype from application.conf. I think it works for Play 1. You can create a ticket for it.
