Starting with today, Antville can process images in WebP format, a missing feature that bit me plenty of times – so much that it is a bit weird it took me so long to make this work.

Adding insult to injury, it did not even take any implementation, just adding an ImageIO plugin to Helma and a case for the mime type to Antville… 😅

Update: Oh, almost forgot to configure AddType image/webp .webp for Apache!

Update 2: Alternative, and maybe the better way to enable WebP support in Apache: enabling it system-wide by adding image/webp webp to /etc/mime.types.

It irks me this is not supported out of the (Apache/Bullseye) box…
