serving mp3 with httpd stack of soapdog - how to modify the server header

[Andre Garzia]

Franz,

Hello, err... I am the soapdog. :-)

That stack is ancient, I have better code now that will probably be  
able to serve mp3 out of the box. Since I am rebuilding my page the  
new code is not available yet but I can send it to your email. Do you  
want me to send it to you?

it's easier in the new server to deal with all kinds of mime types.  
Also remember mp3 files must be read with binfile: and not file:.

Cheers
andre
