Templates directive causes .html to lose MIME type?

[Nixtren]

Example scenario:

• Static website (index.html and about.html)

Example Caddyfile:

127.0.0.1:8000 {
	root .
	templates / .html
	rewrite {
    	if {file} not favicon.ico
    	to {path} {path}/ {path}.html
	}
}

Example links:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
http://127.0.0.1:8000/index
http://127.0.0.1:8000/about

What happens:
Plain HTML source-code appears (i.e. MIME type text/plain), instead of rendering it.

Removing the following line from Caddyfile makes HTML to render correctly:

templates / .html

Is it a bug?

Edit 1: I removed the rewrite directive, the problem persists.

Out of curiosity, what happens when you access http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html?

What about with just templates (as opposted to templates / .html)?

MIME text/plain

Same effect

127.0.0.1:8000 {
	root .
	templates
}

In the meantime, as a workaround, are you able to set the content type manually with the mime directive?

I tried with the MIME directive, it partially worked (IIRC it worked with /index and /about, but not /).

Curiously, I’ve been able to fix this MIME issue by running dos2unix on the HTML files

Wait, Caddy thought the html files were text/plain because of line endings…? Interesting to note.
