MIME module

File extension to MIME-Type mapping

Overview
When transferring different types of data files over the web it is important that both the browser and the server know the type of information being sent. To achieve this a MIME-type is sent along with the data to define the data format. The web server calculates the MIME for a file it is sending to the client from its file extension.

Configuration

Default Type

If the server encounters a file extension which does not have a mapped MIME-type it will return the default MIME-type. The default MIME-type can be configured by entering a valid MIME-type in the Default Type text box.

Click the "Update" button to commit the changes.

Registered MIME-types

To remove a MIME-type simply click on the "Delete" button.

Add MIME-type

To add a new MIME-type, enter the file extension and the MIME-type in the text boxes and click on "Add".
