Managing MIME Types 

Use

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is a standard for formatting data that is sent over the Internet. The J2EE Engine supports this standard to allow client browsers output files that are not in HTML format.

Procedure

You can edit the list of MIME types of a virtual host using the Visual Administrator tool only. Proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Open the Properties tab of the HTTP Provider Service running on the server process.

       2.      Enter a new MIME type in the list that appears as a value for the Mime property. Specify different MIME type entries enclosed in curly brackets. You must specify the file extension first and then the MIME type, and separate them by a comma. For example, {.html,text/plain}. Different MIME types entries in the list are also separated by comma.

       3.      To add the new value of the property to the list of properties of the HTTP Provider Service, choose Update.

       4.      Choose  (Save Properties) to save your settings.

You can find more information about registered MIME types on the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) Web site at http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/.
