It is because of <match> values that there's a 2+ minute delay when listing filetypes(Nautilus/Dolphin, but not cli tools like mc and lynx) on an ssl+webdav mountpoint</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">
I'm guessing that the delay occurs because the file manager is attempting to open each file to check its contents for mimetype matches?<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm inclined to say that that's an issue for the file managers, not the MIME database. The database provides information about MIME types, but it's up to the application how to use that. Specifically, they could:<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">- Detect that file operations are slow over ssl+webdav, and decide not to examine the contents to find MIME types.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">- Display the list first, and progressively update icons etc. as they gather MIME type information.<br>
