Hi all,

I'm using nginx' locations to serve a javascript file on '/client' :

location = /client {
expires epoch;
alias /path/to/a/file.js;
}

Works fine, with one major exception: it gets an octet-stream
Content-Type header. I tried to solve this with :

add_header Content-Type text/javascript;

Now I get two Content-Type headers.

The raw response:

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Server: nginx/1.3.6
< Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 23:42:27 GMT
< Content-Type: application/octet-stream
< Content-Length: 23245
< Last-Modified: Sat, 20 Oct 2012 00:09:12 GMT
< Connection: keep-alive
< ETag: "5081eba8-5acd"
< Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT
< Cache-Control: no-cache
< Content-Type: text/javascript
< Accept-Ranges: bytes

It's not a major issue for me (browsers will accept octet-stream just
fine) but might be annoying for other people, should they ever run into
this.
