MIME: 
change 
type 
image/x-ms-bmp 
to 
image/image

For 
.bmp 
and 
.dib 
files 
the 
image/bmp 
mime 
type 
is 
used 
according 
to 
IANA 
[1].
Apache 
also 
uses 
this 
type 
[2].

The 
.dib 
file 
is 
a 
BMP 
file 
without 
the 
14-byte 
file 
header 
[3].

Extension 
usage 
statistics, 
according 
to 
httparhcive.org:
$ 
awk 
'NR==1||/^bmp,/||/^dib,/' 
httparchive_exts.csv
ext,total_pages,total_requests
bmp,17013,37954
dib,22,28

The 
csv 
file 
was 
made 
with 
the 
following 
query:

SELECT
  
  
ext,
  
  
COUNT(distinct 
pageid) 
total_pages,
  
  
COUNT(0) 
total_requests
FROM
  
  
`httparchive.summary_requests.2024_01_01_desktop`
GROUP 
BY
  
  
ext
ORDER 
BY
  
  
total_requests 
DESC

This 
will 
require 
a 
lot 
of 
free 
time 
:(

I 
tried 
to 
cover 
all 
possible 
options 
so 
that 
wouldn't 
have 
to 
manually
change 
the 
conf/mime.types 
file 
if 
needed. 
For 
example. 
This 
is
problematic 
to 
do 
in 
NixOS, 
because 
will 
need 
to 
make 
changes 
at 
the 
OS
level, 
because 
by 
default 
the 
file 
is 
locked 
for 
modification.
