Website - Settings - Mime Types
Mime types are the at the core of every webserver which aims to deliver data to a large audience
as mime types are used to inform the requesting peer how to handle the server response.
For instance, when a web-browser submits a request for a .html file - the server will search
the mime types configuration for the mime-type string associated with the .html file type and
will include "text/html" (by default) in the response. The client application then knows that the
returned information is to be parsed as HTLM as opposed to (for instance) played in an audio/video application.
Mime Types
Allows the server administrator to add, edit, delete and reorder website mime types.
