  Description     : Apache module for storing a file's MIME type in an extended attribute (EA) ("user.mime_type")

Quoting the homepage:

<snip>
mod_mime_xattr is a module for the Apache HTTPD 2.0 which may be used
to set a range of MIME properties of files served from a document tree
with extended attributes (EAs) as supported by the underlying file
system. The current version of mod_mime_xattr has support for Linux
style EAs which are supported by Linux 2.4 with the ACL/EA patches
applied and vanilla Linux 2.6. The following attributes may be used:

    * user.mime_type: set the MIME type of a file explicitly. This
    attribute is compatible with the shared MIME database
    specification as published by freedesktop.org
    * user.charset: set the charset used in a file
    * user.mime_encoding: set the MIME encoding of a file (e.g. gzip)
    * user.apache_handler: set the apache handler of a file explicitly
</snip>
