Chapter 4 Configuring Web Servers and Web sites

Setting Dynamo MIME types

Information of many different types can be exchanged between a Web client and a Web server. HTML documents, text files, and images are only a few. The way each set of information is handled is described using MIME types. You can configure the MIME type definitions for your Dynamo server using the Dynamo configuration utility: the server then informs clients receiving the data of the proper type.

Each MIME type definition is an association between a file extension and a mime type.

Steps To set the MIME types for your Dynamo server:

  1. Open the Dynamo Configuration folder.

  2. Open the MIME folder.

  3. Click Add MIME Type or double-click on the MIME type you want to edit.

  4. Make changes.

  5. Click OK to save the changes.


To remove an existing MIME type, right-click on it and select Delete.

Note  

Changes take effect the next time the server is started
You must restart the server for changes made to the Configuration folder to take effect.
