What do you refer to by "mime types" here?

a) Mime type of the request send by the client to the web server. I.e.
content of a new file to be published on the web server via the PUT
WebDAV method (not form based file upload).

b) Mime type of the response sent by the web server in response to the
request. I.e. when the browser fetches an object from the web server.

If the first then what you have done should work. This is however a very
rare operation so I doubt this is what you is looking for.

If the second then it can not work as the response mime type is only known
when receiving the response, and to receive the response one must first
forward the request..
