Description
GCDWebServerprovided the method that allows overriding the MIME types butreact-native-static-serverdidn’t expose that capability, I added the optionalmimeTypeOverridesargument to give the ability to override response’s Content-Type header.Motivation and Context
When I tried to use this to set up our local server, it failed to set the correct
Content-Typeheader for responses returning XML files. It setsapplication/octet-streaminstead ofapplication/xmlasXMLHttpRequestexpects.The root cause is that
GCDWebServersets the response’sContent-Typeheader toapplication/octet-streamfor all file types, except for a few well-known ones such as HTML or CSS. Therefore, I implemented a simple change as described above to set the correct Content-Type header for responses.
