extension

Syntax

extension = MIME_type

Description

This stanza defines the MIME type for specific document extensions. The stanza contains a list of extension = MIME_type pairs. Many common MIME types are defined by default. Administrators can add additional entries. Both extensions and MIME_types must be declared using the ASCII character set. The entry of invalid MIME types does not affect WebSEAL, but may cause difficulty for client browsers.
