na_httpd.mimetypes - map of file suffixes to MIME ContentType
/etc/httpd.mimetypes
For HTTP/1.0 and higher protocols, a MIME header is
returned in the reply of every GET request. This header
includes a "Content-Type" field, whose contents is determined
by examining the suffix of the file being transmitted.
The /etc/httpd.mimetypes file contains the mapping of
filename suffixes to MIME Content-Type. The format of
each line is: suffix, Content-Type. Comments are introduced
with a "#".
The filer is not shipped with the /etc/httpd.mimetypes
file. Instead, the filer's system files include a sample
file named /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample. Before you start
using HTTP, make a copy of /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample and
name the copy /etc/httpd.mimetypes.
If the file /etc/httpd.mimetypes is not installed, the
HTTP server looks for the file /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample
as a fallback.
# map .ps files to PostScript type:
ps application/postscript
