MAINTAIN MIME TYPES

WebSite Director (WSD) identifies the type of content being worked on by using Internet-standard "Mime Types." Each type is associated with the filename extension of a document. Mime Types are also used by the web server to tell the web browser which type of content is being displayed so that the browser can determine how to display the content.

To tell WSD to process a specific content type (using the associated Mime Type) as dynamic content during View and Preview, select the Edit Mime Type function. Then select the "Dynamic Content" option for that Mime Type. Any Mime Type with that option selected will be passed through the web server for special processing using the Dynamic Content Preview Directory selected above.

INFORMATION ON THIS SCREEN:

Mime Types
Displays a list of Mime Types for your installation of WSD. Each displays as follows:

the Mime type in 2 parts -- separated by a "/" -- where the first part is the actual Mime "Type" and the second is the Mime "Subtype" (i.e. "image/gif" and "image/jpeg" are both of theMime "image" Type) ,
the extension in (parenthesis), and
the identifiers for Options selected for the Mime Type in [braces]. The identifier displays either as text (Edit, Templates, Href, Dynamic,Links) or a single letter (E, T, H, D,L) depending on the length of the description and extension.

For example,

text/html (htm html) [Edit,Templates,Href,Dynamic,Links]
application/x-httpd-php3 (php3) [E,T,H,D,L].
