Conguring Web Service MIME Types Settings

MIME is an Internet standard for specifying what happens when a web browser

requests a le with specic characteristics. The MIME Types pane in Server Admin lets

you set up how your web server responds when a browser requests specic le types.

Content handlers are similar and also use suxes to determine how a le is handled.

The le sux describes the type of data in the le.

Each sux and its associated response (such as text/plain and text/richtext) are known

as a MIME type mapping or a content handler mapping. The server includes the MIME

type in its response to a browser to describe the information being sent. The browser

can then use its list of MIME preferences to determine how to handle the information.
