MIME Types with CERN httpd

MIME Types with CERN httpd

Post by Matthew Eichle » Fri, 12 May 1995 04:00:00



Does anyone know if its possible to set-up defined MIME
types at the server with the CERN httpd (we're using 3.0)?

We're also using the commerical O'Reilly & Associates
Website for NT, and you can map file extensions to your own
MIME types/sub-types.  This works fine with NT and we're
wondering if we can do it with Unix.

For instance, we'd like to define the following types:

Extension    MIME Type
---------    ---------
doc, .dot   application/msword  (MS Word)
max         application/max     (Visioneer MaxMate)
pdf         application/pdf     (Acrobat)

I can't find any reference to the MIME types in the CERN
documentation.

Instead of posting this question three times you may as well have clicked
a little more often on the links in the CERN online documentation -:)
