The call for file to get the mime type for small file is very costly.

Hum, are you using http_of_dir for high workloads?

Since it's a small companion app to the dependency-less library, I'd rather suggest that we implement a tiny mime type cache. At least if it's based on extensions, I don't know if that's enough…

This should not be an issue for http_of_dir for realistic use cases (serving a directory on localhost), I think. For now I prefer to keep things simple.
