Help - MIME Encodings

Config:/Security/Resource/*/FileInfo/MimeEncoding/
Config:/Security/Template/*/FileInfo/MimeEncoding/

Introduction

Each entry in this directory is a text variable with a name equal to the resource filename extension (without a leading dot) and a value equal to the name of the corresponding MIME encoding.

Processing of matching file extensions to resource names continues for each and every filename extension that matches. In other words, a filename may contain multiple extensions if it has been encoded multiple times.

Example

Assume the following directory of "MimeEncoding" variables:

z x-gzip
gz x-gzip

In this example, all resources with names ending in ".z" or ".gz" will be treated as though encoded with the x-gzip MIME encoding method. An example filename would be "compressed.html.gz".
