Allow for different MIME types in dev mode.

It doesn't appear that we can serve different MIME types in development mode.

Wouldn't we want to move away from implementing a general purpose app server?

I would expect that it is trivial to prepend a middleware which will serve special mime types. In production you should have the static server handle this anyway I would think.

I'm not against the improvement, just think it is a distraction beyond documenting how to write your own static serving middleware for DEV time. There must be 100+ blog posts that explain how to do this with Connect/Express.

@thepian I don't disagree—however—currently it's not possible to hook into the middleware for the MIME type in dev mode—unless I'm missing something. _Update_ I'm realizing my comment might be flippant. :P I think you might be right. So, really, this issue might be moot. I'll investigate, and offer a solution to on that google thread. And add documentation. :)

We now have an Express 4 example.
