+mimetype-file::
+	Specifies the file to use for automatic mimetype lookup. If specified
+	then this field is used as a fallback when no "mimetype.<ext>" match is
+	found. If unspecified then no such lookup is performed. The typical file
+	to use on a Linux system is /etc/mime.types. Default value: none. See

+	- a comment line is an empty line or a line starting with a hash (#),

+	- a non-comment line starts with the mimetype (like image/png), followed
