mod_mime_magic

[Dean Gaudet <dg...@arctic.org>]

mod_mime_magic is opening up things like CGIs in cgi-bin and file typing
them.  It should probably test if the request has a handler, not only if
it already has a content type.

Another thing that'd be cool to do would be to somehow be able to avoid
opening the file to be served twice.  mod_mime_magic opens the file during
type check... it'd be cool if it could be cached in case it's needed to
serve. 

strace, truss, par (linux/bsd, solaris/sysv, irix resp.) are your friends! 
Amazing the bugs you can find just by watching the system calls and having
a good idea what the code is up to.  Anyone know of a similar tool for
win95/NT?
