Apache Set MIME Type Dynamically - apache

Question

We have mutiple files where we need to set MIME type based upon file type. Ex:
/{path}/alpha.woff --> font/woff
/{path}/beta.woff2 --> font/woff2
/{path}/gamma.ttf --> font/ttf
We have added the below snippet in apache config file but not certain how to achieve with one LocationMatch attribute
<LocationMatch "\.(?i:woff|woff2|ttf)$">
Header set Content-Type font/{dynamically set woff OR woff2 OR ttf }
</LocationMatch>
This can be done with multiple LocationMatch (one for each font) but looks not optimized one.
Can anyone suggest better solution to deal with such situation?
Tried with regex which throw an error.
<LocationMatch "\.(?<fonttype>(?i:woff|woff2|ttf))$">
Header set Content-Type font/woff // Work fine but set font/woff for all fonts
</LocationMatch>
Below throw error in config
<LocationMatch "\.(?<fonttype>(?i:woff|woff2|ttf))$">
Header set Content-Type font/%{env:MATCH_FONTTYPE}
</LocationMatch>
Unrecognized header format %

Answer 1

The mime types can be configured in the conf/mime.types configuration file of the Apache HTTP Server, see the example here:
font/woff woff
font/woff2 woff2
font/ttf ttf
If you can't update this file, and LocationMatch directive is your only option, then starting from Apache 2.4.8 you can use named regex capture groups, see documentation.
In the following example, I've named the capture group fonttype, so by convention it will be put into the environment variable MATCH_FONTTYPE. This environment variable can be used in the ForceType expression:
<LocationMatch "\.(?<fonttype>(?i:woff|woff2|ttf))$">
ForceType font/%{env:MATCH_FONTTYPE}
</LocationMatch>
