ns_getmimetype

Ns_Mime(3aolserver)					   AOLserver Library Procedures 				       Ns_Mime(3aolserver)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Ns_GetMimeType - Return the MIME type of a file

SYNOPSIS

       #include "ns.h"

       char *
       Ns_GetMimeType(char *file)
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       Ns_GetMimeType(file)

	      The  Ns_GetMimeType  function uses the extension of file and looks up the associated MIME type stored internally in the server. Case
	      is ignored. The return value is of the form "text/html".

	      AOLserver has a set of predefined file extension to MIME type associations. You can add  to  these  associations	by  defining  file
	      extension  to  MIME  type  associations in the server configuration file in the ns/mimetypes section. If you define a file extension
	      that already exists in the server, that file extension and MIME type association will be replaced with yours.

	      If no MIME type association exists for a particular file extension, or there is no file extension, the default and noextension  MIME
	      types are returned, respectively. These default to "*/*" but can be set in the server configuration file.

	      Here is an example ns/mimetypes section from the server configuration file:

	      ns_section "ns/mimetypes"
	      ns_param	 ".doc" 	 "application/msword"
	      ns_param	 ".ppt" 	 "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint"
	      ns_param	 ".xls" 	 "application/vnd.ms-excel"
	      ns_param	 ".cab" 	 "application/mscabinet"
	      ns_param	 ".frl" 	 "application/x-perfpro"
	      ns_param	 ".max" 	 "application/vviewer"
	      ns_param	 ".mif" 	 "application/x-mif"
	      ns_param	 ".frz" 	 "application/x-dffill"
	      ns_param	 ".asvg"	 "image/svg-xml"
	      ns_param	 ".asvgz"	 "image/svg-xml"
	      ns_param	 ".svg" 	 "image/svg-xml"
	      ns_param	 ".svgz"	 "image/svg-xml"
	      ns_param	 default	 "*/*"
	      ns_param	 noextension	 "*/*"
