36
<p>This module is used to associate various bits of "meta
37
information" with files by their filename extensions. This
38
information relates the filename of the document to it's
39
mime-type, language, character set and encoding. This
40
information is sent to the browser, and participates in content
41
negotiation, so the user's preferences are respected when
42
choosing one of several possible files to serve. See
43
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code> for more information
44
about <a href="../content-negotiation.html">content negotiation</a>.</p>
46
<p>The directives <code class="directive"><a href="#addcharset">AddCharset</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addencoding">AddEncoding</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addlanguage">AddLanguage</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> are all used to map file
47
extensions onto the meta-information for that file. Respectively
48
they set the character set, content-encoding, content-language,
49
and <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME-type</a> (content-type) of documents. The directive <code class="directive"><a href="#typesconfig">TypesConfig</a></code> is used to specify a
50
file which also maps extensions onto MIME types. </p>
52
<p>In addition, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code> may define the <a href="../handler.html">handler</a> and <a href="../filter.html">filters</a> that originate and process
53
content. The directives <code class="directive"><a href="#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="#addinputfilter">AddInputFilter</a></code> control the modules
54
or scripts that serve the document. The <code class="directive"><a href="#multiviewsmatch">MultiviewsMatch</a></code> directive allows
55
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code> to consider these file extensions
56
to be included when testing Multiviews matches.</p>
58
<p>While <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code> associates meta-information
59
with filename extensions, the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/core.html">core</a></code> server
60
provides directives that are used to associate all the files in a
61
given container (<em>e.g.</em>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code>, or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files"><Files></a></code>) with particular
62
meta-information. These directives include <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#forcetype">ForceType</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setinputfilter">SetInputFilter</a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setoutputfilter">SetOutputFilter</a></code>. The core directives
63
override any filename extension mappings defined in
64
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code>.</p>
66
<p>Note that changing the meta-information for a file does not
67
change the value of the <code>Last-Modified</code> header.
68
Thus, previously cached copies may still be used by a client or
69
proxy, with the previous headers. If you change the
70
meta-information (language, content type, character set or
71
encoding) you may need to 'touch' affected files (updating
72
their last modified date) to ensure that all visitors are
73
receive the corrected content headers.</p>

<h2><a name="multipleext" id="multipleext">Files with Multiple Extensions</a></h2>
114
<p>Files can have more than one extension, and the order of the
115
extensions is <em>normally</em> irrelevant. For example, if the
116
file <code>welcome.html.fr</code> maps onto content type
117
<code>text/html</code> and language French then the file
118
<code>welcome.fr.html</code> will map onto exactly the same
119
information. If more than one extension is given which maps onto
120
the same type of meta-information, then the one to the right will
121
be used, except for languages and content encodings. For example,
122
if <code>.gif</code> maps to the <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME-type</a>
123
<code>image/gif</code> and <code>.html</code> maps to the
124
MIME-type <code>text/html</code>, then the file
125
<code>welcome.gif.html</code> will be associated with the
126
MIME-type <code>text/html</code>.</p>
128
<p><a href="#charset-lang">Languages</a> and <a href="#contentencoding">content encodings</a> are treated accumulative, because one can assign
129
more than one language or encoding to a particular resource. For example,
130
the file <code>welcome.html.en.de</code> will be delivered with
131
<code>Content-Language: en, de</code> and <code>Content-Type:
132
text/html</code>.</p>
134
<p>Care should be taken when a file with multiple extensions
135
gets associated with both a <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME-type</a> and a handler. This will
136
usually result in the request being by the module associated
137
with the handler. For example, if the <code>.imap</code>
138
extension is mapped to the handler <code>imap-file</code> (from
139
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_imagemap.html">mod_imagemap</a></code>) and the <code>.html</code> extension is
140
mapped to the MIME-type <code>text/html</code>, then the file
141
<code>world.imap.html</code> will be associated with both the
142
<code>imap-file</code> handler and <code>text/html</code> MIME-type.
143
When it is processed, the <code>imap-file</code> handler will be used,
144
and so it will be treated as a <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_imagemap.html">mod_imagemap</a></code> imagemap

<h2><a name="contentencoding" id="contentencoding">Content encoding</a></h2>
149
<p>A file of a particular <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME-type</a> can additionally be encoded a
150
particular way to simplify transmission over the Internet.
151
While this usually will refer to compression, such as
152
<code>gzip</code>, it can also refer to encryption, such a
153
<code>pgp</code> or to an encoding such as UUencoding, which is
154
designed for transmitting a binary file in an ASCII (text)
157
<p>The <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">HTTP/1.1
158
RFC</a>, section 14.11 puts it this way:</p>
160
<blockquote cite="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">
161
<p>The Content-Encoding entity-header field is used as a modifier to
162
the media-type. When present, its value indicates what additional
163
content codings have been applied to the entity-body, and thus what
164
decoding mechanisms must be applied in order to obtain the media-type
165
referenced by the Content-Type header field. Content-Encoding is
166
primarily used to allow a document to be compressed without losing
167
the identity of its underlying media type.</p>
170
<p>By using more than one file extension (see <a href="#multipleext">section above about multiple file
171
extensions</a>), you can indicate that a file is of a
172
particular <em>type</em>, and also has a particular
173
<em>encoding</em>. </p>
175
<p>For example, you may have a file which is a Microsoft Word
176
document, which is pkzipped to reduce its size. If the
177
<code>.doc</code> extension is associated with the Microsoft
178
Word file type, and the <code>.zip</code> extension is
179
associated with the pkzip file encoding, then the file
180
<code>Resume.doc.zip</code> would be known to be a pkzip'ed Word
183
<p>Apache sends a <code>Content-encoding</code> header with the
184
resource, in order to tell the client browser about the
187

190
<h2><a name="charset-lang" id="charset-lang">Character sets and languages</a></h2>
191
<p>In addition to file type and the file encoding,
192
another important piece of information is what language a
193
particular document is in, and in what character set the file
194
should be displayed. For example, the document might be written
195
in the Vietnamese alphabet, or in Cyrillic, and should be
196
displayed as such. This information, also, is transmitted in
199
<p>The character set, language, encoding and mime type are all
200
used in the process of content negotiation (See
201
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code>) to determine
202
which document to give to the client, when there are
203
alternative documents in more than one character set, language,
204
encoding or mime type. All filename extensions associations
205
created with <code class="directive"><a href="#addcharset">AddCharset</a></code>,
206
<code class="directive"><a href="#addencoding">AddEncoding</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addlanguage">AddLanguage</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> directives
207
(and extensions listed in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime_magic.html#mimemagicfile">MimeMagicFile</a></code>) participate in this select process.
208
Filename extensions that are only associated using the <code class="directive"><a href="#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addinputfilter">AddInputFilter</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code> directives may be included or excluded
209
from matching by using the <code class="directive"><a href="#multiviewsmatch">MultiviewsMatch</a></code> directive.</p>
211
<h3><a name="charset" id="charset">Charset</a></h3>
212
<p>To convey this further information, Apache optionally sends
213
a <code>Content-Language</code> header, to specify the language
214
that the document is in, and can append additional information
215
onto the <code>Content-Type</code> header to indicate the
216
particular character set that should be used to correctly
217
render the information.</p>
219
<div class="example"><p><code>
220
Content-Language: en, fr<br />
221
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
224
<p>The language specification is the two-letter abbreviation
225
for the language. The <code>charset</code> is the name of the
226
particular character set which should be used.</p>

particular form Apache will use the form given by the

612
<p><code class="directive">MultiviewsMatch</code> permits three different
613
behaviors for <a href="mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a>'s
614
Multiviews feature. Multiviews allows a request for a file,
615
<em>e.g.</em> <code>index.html</code>, to match any negotiated
616
extensions following the base request, <em>e.g.</em>
617
<code>index.html.en</code>, <code>index.html.fr</code>, or
618
<code>index.html.gz</code>.</p>
620
<p>The <code>NegotiatedOnly</code> option provides that every extension
621
following the base name must correlate to a recognized
622
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code> extension for content negotation, <em>e.g.</em>
623
Charset, Content-Type, Language, or Encoding. This is the strictest
624
implementation with the fewest unexpected side effects, and is the
625
default behavior.</p>
627
<p>To include extensions associated with Handlers and/or Filters,
628
set the <code class="directive">MultiviewsMatch</code> directive to either
629
<code>Handlers</code>, <code>Filters</code>, or both option keywords.
630
If all other factors are equal, the smallest file will be served,
631
<em>e.g.</em> in deciding between <code>index.html.cgi</code> of 500
632
bytes and <code>index.html.pl</code> of 1000 bytes, the <code>.cgi</code>
633
file would win in this example. Users of <code>.asis</code> files
634
might prefer to use the Handler option, if <code>.asis</code> files are
635
associated with the <code>asis-handler</code>.</p>
637
<p>You may finally allow <code>Any</code> extensions to match, even if
638
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code> doesn't recognize the extension. This was the
639
behavior in Apache 1.3, and can cause unpredicatable results, such as
640
serving .old or .bak files the webmaster never expected to be served.</p>
642
<p>For example, the following configuration will allow handlers
643
and filters to participate in Multviews, but will exclude unknown
646

897
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>. This file sets
898
the default list of mappings from filename extensions to content
899
types. Most administrators use the provided
900
<code>mime.types</code> file, which associates common filename
901
extensions with IANA registered content types. The current list is
902
maintained at <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html">http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html</a>. This
903
simplifies the <code>httpd.conf</code> file by providing the
904
majority of media-type definitions, and may be overridden by
905
<code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> directives as
906
needed. You should not edit the <code>mime.types</code> file,
907
because it may be replaced when you upgrade your server.</p>

<var>MIME-type</var> [<var>extension</var>] ...
916
<p>The case of the extension does not matter. Blank lines, and lines
917
beginning with a hash character (<code>#</code>) are ignored.</p>
920
Please do <strong>not</strong> send requests to the Apache HTTP
921
Server Project to add any new entries in the distributed
922
<code>mime.types</code> file unless (1) they are already
923
registered with IANA, and (2) they use widely accepted,
924
non-conflicting filename extensions across platforms.
925
<code>category/x-subtype</code> requests will be automatically
926
rejected, as will any new two-letter extensions as they will
927
likely conflict later with the already crowded language and
928
character set namespace.
