I don't think that directories should return links to files, not for
file:// method. file:// should refer only to files existing on local
disk.
As for MIME, I thought of adding them, I think there should be local
mime.magic (borrowed from Apache probably). I'll look to implementing
MIME stuff.

May be just change reading of files to line by line? As a additional
benefit it will allow using of FIFOs.
