Jeeves Mime Type Administration
The server uses suffixes to discover the content type of any file. Default
Mappings between file suffixes and the corresponding content type are specified
as properties in the mime.properties file. These mappings can be dynamically
edited and new enteries can be added through the administration interface.
The default mapping for unknown suffix is test/plain. The other standard
mappings specified in the mime.properties file are listed below:
