AddType

Description

This command associates file names or extensions (for services that don't automatically include them) with mime types. Currently only "file:" protocol uses this command.

Use optional first two parameters to choose comparison type. Default type is "String" "NoCase" (case sensitive string may use "?" and "*" as wildcards for one and several characters correspondingly).

You may also use quotes in mime type definition, for example to specify charset. e.g. Russian webmasters often use *.htm extension for windows-1251 documents and *.html for Unix KOI8-r documents.
