| This window enables you to view and edit the /etc/httpd.mimetypes
file. The filer reads the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file so it can send the
appropriate Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Content-Type header in each
response to a GET request. The header shows the MIME Content-Type value of the file. For
example, if the MIME Content-Type value shows that the file being transferred is an image
file and the client is configured properly, the browser can render the image by using a
graphics application. The following list describes the fields in the /etc/httpd.mimetypes
file:
- Extension
- The suffix (extension) of a file. For example, HTML files are identified by the .html
extension.
- MIME type
- The general type of data contained in the file. For example, .gif, .jpeg, and .tif files
are "image" MIME Content-type files.
- Subtype
- The data subtype, which shows the specific format in which the data is stored. For
example, .ai, .ps., and .eps files are stored in postscript.
- Comment
- The comment associated with the file type.
The following list describes how to use the buttons in this window to add, modify, or
delete entries in the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file:
- Reload
- Reloads the existing /etc/httpd.mimetypes file from the filer.
- Save
- Saves the changes to the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file. Changes to the file take
effect immediately.
- Insert
- Click anywhere in the display and click Insert to add a MIME Type to the /etc/httpd.mimetypes
file.
- Modify
- Click the appropriate file type in the display and click Modify to modify the
information for a MIME Type in the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file.
- Delete
- Click the appropriate file type in the display and click Delete to delete a MIME Type
from the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file.
Cluster considerations
- The /etc/httpd.mimetypes file on both filers in a cluster must have the same
contents for takeover to occur properly.
