<p>This module has two directives. The <code class="directive"><a href="#action">Action</a></code> directive lets you run CGI
- scripts whenever a file of a certain type is requested. The
+ scripts whenever a file of a certain <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#mime-type" title="see glossary">MIME content type</a> is requested. The
<code class="directive"><a href="#script">Script</a></code> directive lets
you run CGI scripts whenever a particular method is used in a
request. This makes it much easier to execute scripts that process
