Bug#904741: lighttpd: create-mime.assign.pl skips mime types with capital letters

[chrysn <chrysn@fsfe.org>]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.49-1.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The create-mime.assign.pl script can only read mime types without
capital letters from /etc/mime.types, thus reporting files like .ts or
.m3u8 as application/octet-stream instead of video/MP2T and
application/x-mpegURL, respectively.

The attached patch fixes the issue by accepting capital letters in;
[^\s] would be an alternative depending on the precise definition of the
mime.types file.

Best regards, and thank you for maintaining this package
