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>

113 <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

148 <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 <div class="example"><p><code>Content-encoding: pkzip</code></p></div>
188 </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
189 <div class="section">
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>

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

869 <p>This will remove any special handling of <code>.cgi</code>

894 <p>The <code class="directive">TypesConfig</code> directive sets the
895 location of the <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME types</a>
896 configuration file. <var>File-path</var> is relative to the
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>
909 <p>The file contains lines in the format of the arguments to
910 an <code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> directive:</p>
912 <div class="example"><p><code>
913 <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.
