Adding a Mime type

Mime types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions. Most Mime types are set globally on the server. For example, the text/html Mime type equates to htm, html, and shtml extensions on most servers, and this tells your browser to interpret all files with those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or add new Mime types specifically for your site.

To add a Mime type:

  1. Click on the Web link in the navigation area.

  2. Click on the [Add] link in the Mime Types area.

  3. Enter the Mime type in the Mime type field and the extension in the Extension field.

  4. Click on the Add button.
