Support WebCast: MIME Type Handling in Microsoft Internet Explorer (325241)

Session Summary

From Office document to .pdf files, the Web is filled with a wide variety of content. To differentiate among these content types, Internet Explorer uses MIME type detection based on a number of information sources. In this session, we will discuss this process and the ramifications it has on today's Web development.

This is a Level 200 session that was recorded January 11, 2001 and presented by Dan Mohr.
