mime type woff & woff2

Hello everyone, I noticed that in all our servers, we have to change the mime type of various extensions because the mime.types file supplied by EA3/EA4 is rather outdated. To be more specific, woff2 does not exist in /etc/apache2/conf/mime.types, while woff does exist but it is wrong "application/x-font-woff" since it should be "application/font-woff". Maybe EA4 could take the latest mime.types from CentOS 7 or something similar? It would be very helpful. In case you are wondering why this is important, it is because a broken mime type causes the cache to fail, like a transparent proxy cache. It also causes havoc with htaccess that tries to set cookie/cache/gzip compression on files by type like AddOutputFilterByType. Thank you.

  Hello, EasyApache 4 should use /etc/mime.types:
  # grep mime /etc/cpanel/ea4/paths.conf file_conf_mime_types=/etc/mime.types
  However, it's not using that file based on the default Apache configuration:
  # grep mime /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf TypesConfig conf/mime.types
  Internal case EA-3773 is open to address this issue. I'll update this thread with more information on the status of this case as it becomes available. Thank you.

  Hello, To update, this is fixed in today's EasyApache 4 maintenance release: EA-3773 - mime.types paths are not matched in between paths.conf and httpd.conf: paths.conf: use correct value for file_conf_mime_types The full EasyApache 4 change log should be updated later today: EasyApache 4 Change Log 2018 - EasyApache 4 - cPanel Documentation Thank you.
