Map Extensions to Mime Types

The Mime Mapping dialog box enables you to assign a MIME type to files of a particular extension.
  1. Click Add.
  2. Enter a file extension in the Extension column. For example, if you wanted to assign a MIME type to your PDF file, you would first enter .pdf in the Extension column.
  3. Enter a MIME type in the Mime Type column. MIME types take the form of a contenttype/subtype pair. For example, you could enter application/pdf in the Mime Type column if you first entered .pdf in the Extension column.
  4. Click OK after adding the mappings.

To delete a mapping, select the row containing the mapping and click Delete. A confirmation dialog will ask you if you really want to delete the mapping.
