Description

New Type |
Adds a new MIME type when you fill in the fields next to it. |
Category |
Specifies the category of the MIME type. Choose from the following options:
|
Content Type |
Specifies the nature of the file. For example, the file could be text, video, and so forth. The receiving client uses the header string to determine how to handle the file, (for example, by starting a separate application or using a plug-in application). |
File Suffix |
Specifies all the file suffixes that will be associated with the content type. To specify more than one extension, separate the entries with a comma. File extensions must be unique; do not map one file extension to two MIME types. |
Edit |
Allows you to edit the category, content type, or file suffix of the MIME type. |
Remove |
Removes a MIME type. |
