Would it be good to match nginx here? Looks like type in nginx is one of "directory", "file", "other" and mtime is RFC1123-date of HTTP-date defined by RFC2616

@greggman I'd side with doing it the JavaScript way because this is a JavaScript library. That said, I'd be happy to make that an option (or even the default) if things got moving forward again.
