| Parameter | Type | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
|**`conn`**|`struct mg_connection *`|The connection over which the file must be sent|
|**`path`**|`const char *`|The full path and filename of the file|
|**`mime_type`**|`const char *`|The mime type of the file, or NULL for automatic detection|
### Return Value
*none*
### Description
The function `mg_send_mime_file()` sends a file over a connection including the HTTP headers. The function is similar to the [`mg_send_file()`](mg_send_file.md) with the additional functionality that the MIME type of the file can be specified. If the `mime_type` parameter is NULL, the routine will try to determine the MIME type based on the extension of the filename.
