Re: Mime-types HELP Hi, I've been forced to research this topic, since Lynx omits any details:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME_type http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_header_fields All browsers do the same thing with mime-types, but in different ways. What approach does Lynx use? Server's need the .htaccess file to send the proper mime-types: AddType image/x-zbitmap ZBM AddType application/x-arachne-package APM AddType application/x-netdos-exe NETDOS-EXE AddType application/x-netdos-com NETDOS-COM AddType image/bmp BMP AddType application/octet-stream COM AddType application/octet-stream SDR AddType audio/ogg OGG AddType audio/mid MID AddType audio/s3m S3M AddType audio/it IT AddType application/xml RDF AddType application/xml RSS AddType text/xml XML AddType text/html ASP AddType text/html HTT AddType text/html AH AddType text/plain TXT AddType text/plain CONFIG AddType video/x-ms-wmv WMV AddType video/x-flv FLV AddType video/mp4 MP4 AddType application/octet-stream ISO AddType application/octet-stream PIF AddType application/octet-stream BAT AddType application/octet-stream EXE AddType application/x-tar-gz TGZ AddType video/x-msvideo AVI AddType application/x-7z-compressed 7Z AddType application/x-rar-compressed RAR AddType application/x-rar-compressed R00 AddType application/x-rar-compressed R01 AddType application/x-rar-compressed R02 AddType application/x-rar-compressed R03 AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats DOCX AddType application/vnd.openxmlformats DCX AddType application/x-htz HTZ There are as many different mime-types sent in the HTTP header info of 'content-type:' as there are different file types being sent via HTTP. This is in the lynx.cfg for DOS Lynx: ---------------------- # The MIME_type:viewer:XWINDOWS definitions listed here in the lynx.cfg # file are among those established via src/HTInit.c. For the image types, # HTInit.c uses the XLOADIMAGE_COMMAND definition in userdefs.h or above # (open is used for NeXT). You can change any of these defaults via the # global or personal mailcap files. Assignments made here will be overridden # by entries in those files. # .ex 7 VIEWER:image/gif:display %s VIEWER:image/x-tiff:display %s VIEWER:image/tiff:display %s VIEWER:image/targa:display %s VIEWER:image/bmp:display %s VIEWER:image/jpeg:display %s VIEWER:image/pcx:display %s VIEWER:image/png:display %s VIEWER:image/pict:display %s VIEWER:image/x-icon:display %s ----------------------- There is a long list of mime-types, but I just include the image lines above. Note: I have "display.exe" which is called by "display.bat". _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
