svg-edit is not working on lighttpd (can't see icons and draw)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download svg-edit 2.4 or 2.5 from this website or svn
2. put it into the lighttpd www root and set permissions correctly (-R 777 
for sure)
3. open svg-editor.html in browser directly from disk
4. open svg-editor.html in browser through lighttpd

What is the expected output?
svg editor should work from lighttpd server same way as it works from disk 
or apache server.

What do you see instead?
svg editor does not load any images (toolbar, logo) and i am not able to 
see or draw anything. i can open/use/close preferences dialog and svg 
source textarea (by trying all those icons without images). canvas is dead. 
i can't use it at all.

i can use API to setSvg and getSvg which is also useless...

In what browser did you experience this problem? (ALL, Firefox, Opera 10
Alpha, etc)
Chromium, Firefox, Epiphany -> ALL

Please provide any additional information below.
It works with apache, but not on lighttpd. I can't understand... maybe some 
absolute/relative URLs or MIME type handling?

OS: ArchLinux (latest stable)
LigHTTPd package: lighttpd 1.4.26-1

btw i have checked traffic and there is NO 404 response, so svg-edit GETs 
everything 
it wants...

Is this maybe because lighttpd doesn't serve the SVG files with the correct 
MIME type?

according to http://wiki.svg.org/MIME_Type i have added this to lighttpd.conf:

# mimetype mapping
mimetype.assign             = (
...
  ".svg"          =>      "image/svg+xml",
  ".svgz"          =>      "image/svg+xml",
...
 )

restarted server and reloaded cache of browser.
didn't helped at all...

i have exactly same ^^^ settings in apache and it works well...

just to make sure that this not a problem of the mimetype or how lighty wants 
it defined

Please can you try to create a mimetype of text/plain for an extension of 
".foo" and look if that works.

cheers

@nadavkav - I went here:
http://pegasus1.weizmann.ac.il/moodle/lib/svg-edit-2.5/svg-editor.html

And it works fine for me, no errors. Is the problem occurring on a different 
server?

I had the same problem. It turned out that it only occured if I was logged in 
to a typo3 administrator site on the same server. When I logged out and cleared 
all private data on the browser then it worked.

Well. Till now i didn't heard about "typo3 administrator site" and i am pretty 
sure that it was not installed on the server i tested and even if it was i 
don't see any reason why it should interfere with svgedit.

I fixed it for apache by adding:
    AddType image/svg+xml .svg

into the virtual host config.

I had this problem too, on Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS). I have fixed it by adding the 
MIME type to the web server configuration, as Cameron and others have suggested 
in the previous comments. Access to the central configuration isn't needed, 
since you can add a MIME type in a .htaccess file too.

I have fixed this issue too.
by taking "Comment 14 by bloke...@gmail.com, Jan 3, 2011" advise

I have added a new .htaccess file to the svg-edit main folder
with "AddType image/svg+xml .svg" inside the file
