JXL support, please

Please add JXL support.

Right now JXL files are served as downloads. Chrome already supports JXL (needs to be enabled in about://flags), Firefox will soon follow.

To do that edit

Code:

---

/etc/nginx/mime.types

---

and add

Code:

---

image/jxl  jxl;

---

This should be enough.

Hello,

I tested it and it seems to work correctly: https://alemoppo.altervista.org/LABS/JXL/
Does it not work on your side?

Bye!

The issue is if you link to a file using

<a href=image.jxl>Image File</a>

Altervista servers will not provide the necessary mime type:

Content-Type: image/png is there.
Content-Type: image/jxl is missing.

And of course your web browser will offer to download it instead.

This could be done using CloudFlare as well without touching any configuration files.

Yes, I think CloudFlare will overwrites the content-type:

CF: https://alemoppo.altervista.org/LABS/JXL/foto.jxl
Non-CF: https://alespazio.altervista.org/JXL/foto.jxl

EDIT:
It will be added tomorrow!

Bye!

Could you please check on your site? I see everything is working fine.

Bye!

This is now working as expected, thanks a TON!

The CF servers correctly return:

Code:

---

Content-Type: image/jxl
