Mime Section

You use this page to add, edit, or delete suffix mappings. Suffix mappings map file extensions to MIME types (a method for determining file formats), so that the server can determine the contents of any file. Jeeves uses suffix mappings to determine how to return data to a WWW client.

This page displays a list of pre-defined suffix mappings. If Jeeves can't find a suffix mapping entry in this list, it uses the default MIME type text/plain (where the extension "*" means "any"). This means that the server uses text transfer and assumes that it is returning plain text.

To create a new suffix mapping entry for a file format:

1. Enter the file extension or suffix associated with the file format.
2. Enter the MIME type you want to associate with the file extension.
3. Click Add.

To delete a suffix mapping entry:

1. Select the entry you want to delete.
2. Click Delete.

To edit a suffix mapping entry: Select the entry, delete it, and re-enter it.
