no file extension, application/octet-stream

Files with no extension are served with content-type "application/octet-stream" due to https://www.npmjs.com/package/mime#mime-default-type

Shouldn’t they just be undefined?:

mime.default_type = undefined

Everything that this library does, st does better.

PR #184 would allow something like this:

var file = new static.Server('./public');

require('http').createServer(function (request, response) {
    request.addListener('end', function () {
        response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') // explicitly override header here
        file.serve(request, response);
    }).resume();
}).listen(8080);
