Xara Webster - Configuring a Web Server for Xara filesIf you want to put Xara files on your web pages using the Xara plug-in, you will need to configure your server to use the correct MIME type when it transfers Xara files. MIME types are a standard way of determining the content of a file while it is transmitted across the Internet, and are appended to the file in a standard header. For instance, every HTML file is transmitted with the MIME type 'text/html', so that anything receiving it can recognize it as HTML and treat it accordingly.The way servers are set up by default, they will transmit .web files and .xar files with a default setting of 'text/plain'. This will cause the browser to attempt to display them on screen as text, which will generate a stream of gibberish, or a complaint from your browser that there isn't a plug-in for 'text/plain' files available. You need to configure your server to recognize Xara files. Xara files have the MIME type 'application/vnd.xara'.
You will therefore need to add this line to the file :
If your Web pages are on another machine, for example one run by your
Internet Service Provider, contact the Server administrator and ask
them to add the appropriate MIME type. They will need to know the MIME
type and the file extension.
