OverviewWhenever content is returned from a web server it includes a MIME Content Type header, which provides information to the client about the type of data which is being returned. Using this header the client is able to determine the best way to handle the content, which may include opening a helper application. For files returned directly from the server the MIME type is defined by the extension of the file. The following table shows some MIME type examples:
Net24 has a predefined server wide list of common MIME types configured on Windows IIS and Unix Apache servers. However if you have files on your site for which a MIME type is not defined, the content of these files may not be displayed correctly by the client. The predefined list can not be modified, but additional MIME types can be easily added to individual site following the instructions below: Adding MIME Types Under Unix Hosting Accounts
