AddType

Synopsis

Syntax: AddType MIME-type extension [extension] ...
Context: Server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess
Override: FileInfo
Status: Base
Module: mod_mime 

The AddType directive maps the given filename extensions onto the specified content type. MIME-type is the MIME type to use for filenames containing extensions. This mapping is added to any already in force, overriding any mappings that already exist for the same extension. This directive can be used to add mappings not listed in the MIME types file (see the TypesConfig directive). For example:

AddType image/gif .gif

It is recommended that new MIME types be added using the AddType directive rather than changing the TypesConfig file.

Note that, unlike the NCSA httpd, this directive cannot be used to set the type of particular files.

The extension argument is case insensitive and can be specified with or without a leading dot.
