+<h3>Summary</h3>
+
+ <p>This module is used to assign content metadata to the content
+ selected for an HTTP response by mapping patterns in the
+ URI or filenames to the metadata values. For example, the filename
+ extensions of content files often define the content's Internet
+ media type, language, character set, and content-encoding. This
+ information is sent in HTTP messages containing that content and
+ used in content negotiation when selecting alternatives, such that
+ the user's preferences are respected when choosing one of several
+ possible contents to serve. See
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code> for more information
+ about <a href="../content-negotiation.html">content negotiation</a>.</p>
+
+ <p>The directives <code class="directive"><a href="#addcharset">AddCharset</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addencoding">AddEncoding</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addlanguage">AddLanguage</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> are all used to map file
+ extensions onto the metadata for that file. Respectively
+ they set the character set, content-encoding, content-language,
+ and <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#media-type" title="see glossary">media-type</a> (content-type) of documents. The directive <code class="directive"><a href="#typesconfig">TypesConfig</a></code> is used to specify a
+ file which also maps extensions onto media types. </p>
+
+ <p>In addition, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code> may define the <a href="../handler.html">handler</a> and <a href="../filter.html">filters</a> that originate and process
+ content. The directives <code class="directive"><a href="#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="#addinputfilter">AddInputFilter</a></code> control the modules
+ or scripts that serve the document. The <code class="directive"><a href="#multiviewsmatch">MultiviewsMatch</a></code> directive allows
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code> to consider these file extensions
+ to be included when testing Multiviews matches.</p>
+
+ <p>While <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code> associates metadata
+ with filename extensions, the <code class="module"><a href="../mod/core.html">core</a></code> server
+ provides directives that are used to associate all the files in a
+ given container (<em>e.g.</em>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code>, or <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files">&lt;Files&gt;</a></code>) with particular
+ metadata. These directives include <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#forcetype">ForceType</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setinputfilter">SetInputFilter</a></code>, and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#setoutputfilter">SetOutputFilter</a></code>. The core directives
+ override any filename extension mappings defined in
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Note that changing the metadata for a file does not
+ change the value of the <code>Last-Modified</code> header.
+ Thus, previously cached copies may still be used by a client or
+ proxy, with the previous headers. If you change the
+ metadata (language, content type, character set or
+ encoding) you may need to 'touch' affected files (updating
+ their last modified date) to ensure that all visitors are
+ receive the corrected content headers.</p>

+<h2><a name="multipleext" id="multipleext">Files with Multiple Extensions</a></h2>
+ <p>Files can have more than one extension; the order of the
+ extensions is <em>normally</em> irrelevant. For example, if the
+ file <code>welcome.html.fr</code> maps onto content type
+ <code>text/html</code> and language French then the file
+ <code>welcome.fr.html</code> will map onto exactly the same
+ information. If more than one extension is given that maps onto
+ the same type of metadata, then the one to the right will
+ be used, except for languages and content encodings. For example,
+ if <code>.gif</code> maps to the <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#media-type" title="see glossary">media-type</a>
+ <code>image/gif</code> and <code>.html</code> maps to the
+ media-type <code>text/html</code>, then the file
+ <code>welcome.gif.html</code> will be associated with the
+ media-type <code>text/html</code>.</p>
+
+ <p><a href="#charset-lang">Languages</a> and <a href="#contentencoding">content encodings</a> are treated accumulative, because one can assign
+ more than one language or encoding to a particular resource. For example,
+ the file <code>welcome.html.en.de</code> will be delivered with
+ <code>Content-Language: en, de</code> and <code>Content-Type:
+ text/html</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>Care should be taken when a file with multiple extensions
+ gets associated with both a <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#media-type" title="see glossary">media-type</a>
+ and a handler. This will
+ usually result in the request being handled by the module associated
+ with the handler. For example, if the <code>.imap</code>
+ extension is mapped to the handler <code>imap-file</code> (from
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_imagemap.html">mod_imagemap</a></code>) and the <code>.html</code> extension is
+ mapped to the media-type <code>text/html</code>, then the file
+ <code>world.imap.html</code> will be associated with both the
+ <code>imap-file</code> handler and <code>text/html</code> media-type.
+ When it is processed, the <code>imap-file</code> handler will be used,
+ and so it will be treated as a <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_imagemap.html">mod_imagemap</a></code> imagemap
+ file.</p>
+
+ <p>If you would prefer only the last dot-separated part of the
+ filename to be mapped to a particular piece of meta-data, then do
+ not use the <code>Add*</code> directives. For example, if you wish
+ to have the file <code>foo.html.cgi</code> processed as a CGI
+ script, but not the file <code>bar.cgi.html</code>, then instead
+ of using <code>AddHandler cgi-script .cgi</code>, use</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Configure handler based on final extension only</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;FilesMatch "[^.]+\.cgi$"&gt;
+ SetHandler cgi-script
+&lt;/FilesMatch&gt;</pre>

+<h2><a name="contentencoding" id="contentencoding">Content encoding</a></h2>
+ <p>A file of a particular <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#media-type" title="see glossary">media-type</a> can additionally be encoded a
+ particular way to simplify transmission over the Internet.
+ While this usually will refer to compression, such as
+ <code>gzip</code>, it can also refer to encryption, such a
+ <code>pgp</code> or to an encoding such as UUencoding, which is
+ designed for transmitting a binary file in an ASCII (text)
+ format.</p>
+
+ <p>The <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">HTTP/1.1
+ RFC</a>, section 14.11 puts it this way:</p>
+
+ <blockquote cite="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">
+ <p>The Content-Encoding entity-header field is used as a modifier to
+ the media-type. When present, its value indicates what additional
+ content codings have been applied to the entity-body, and thus what
+ decoding mechanisms must be applied in order to obtain the media-type
+ referenced by the Content-Type header field. Content-Encoding is
+ primarily used to allow a document to be compressed without losing
+ the identity of its underlying media type.</p>
+ </blockquote>
+
+ <p>By using more than one file extension (see <a href="#multipleext">section above about multiple file
+ extensions</a>), you can indicate that a file is of a
+ particular <em>type</em>, and also has a particular
+ <em>encoding</em>. </p>
+
+ <p>For example, you may have a file which is a Microsoft Word
+ document, which is pkzipped to reduce its size. If the
+ <code>.doc</code> extension is associated with the Microsoft
+ Word file type, and the <code>.zip</code> extension is
+ associated with the pkzip file encoding, then the file
+ <code>Resume.doc.zip</code> would be known to be a pkzip'ed Word
+ document.</p>
+
+ <p>Apache sends a <code>Content-encoding</code> header with the
+ resource, in order to tell the client browser about the
+ encoding method.</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">Content-encoding: pkzip</pre>
+
+</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="charset-lang" id="charset-lang">Character sets and languages</a></h2>
+ <p>In addition to file type and the file encoding,
+ another important piece of information is what language a
+ particular document is in, and in what character set the file
+ should be displayed. For example, the document might be written
+ in the Vietnamese alphabet, or in Cyrillic, and should be
+ displayed as such. This information, also, is transmitted in
+ HTTP headers.</p>
+
+ <p>The character set, language, encoding and mime type are all
+ used in the process of content negotiation (See
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code>) to determine
+ which document to give to the client, when there are
+ alternative documents in more than one character set, language,
+ encoding or mime type. All filename extensions associations
+ created with <code class="directive"><a href="#addcharset">AddCharset</a></code>,
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#addencoding">AddEncoding</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addlanguage">AddLanguage</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> directives
+ (and extensions listed in the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime_magic.html#mimemagicfile">MimeMagicFile</a></code>) participate in this select process.
+ Filename extensions that are only associated using the <code class="directive"><a href="#addhandler">AddHandler</a></code>, <code class="directive"><a href="#addinputfilter">AddInputFilter</a></code> or <code class="directive"><a href="#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code> directives may be included or excluded
+ from matching by using the <code class="directive"><a href="#multiviewsmatch">MultiviewsMatch</a></code> directive.</p>
+
+ <h3><a name="charset" id="charset">Charset</a></h3>
+ <p>To convey this further information, Apache optionally sends
+ a <code>Content-Language</code> header, to specify the language
+ that the document is in, and can append additional information
+ onto the <code>Content-Type</code> header to indicate the
+ particular character set that should be used to correctly
+ render the information.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+Content-Language: en, fr
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>The language specification is the two-letter abbreviation
+ for the language. The <code>charset</code> is the name of the
+ particular character set which should be used.</p>

+ <p>Old clients expect <code>x-gzip</code> and <code>x-compress</code>,

+ Multiviews feature. Multiviews allows a request for a file,

+ extensions following the base request, <em>e.g.</em>
+ <code>index.html.en</code>, <code>index.html.fr</code>, or
+ <code>index.html.gz</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>The <code>NegotiatedOnly</code> option provides that every extension
+ following the base name must correlate to a recognized
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html">mod_mime</a></code> extension for content negotiation, <em>e.g.</em>
+ Charset, Content-Type, Language, or Encoding. This is the strictest
+ implementation with the fewest unexpected side effects, and is the

+
+ <p>To include extensions associated with Handlers and/or Filters,
+ set the <code class="directive">MultiviewsMatch</code> directive to either
+ <code>Handlers</code>, <code>Filters</code>, or both option keywords.
+ If all other factors are equal, the smallest file will be served,
+ <em>e.g.</em> in deciding between <code>index.html.cgi</code> of 500
+ bytes and <code>index.html.pl</code> of 1000 bytes, the <code>.cgi</code>
+ file would win in this example. Users of <code>.asis</code> files
+ might prefer to use the Handler option, if <code>.asis</code> files are

+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#serverroot">ServerRoot</a></code>. This file sets
+ the default list of mappings from filename extensions to content
+ types. Most administrators use the <code>mime.types</code> file
+ provided by their OS, which associates common filename
+ extensions with the official list of IANA registered media types
+ maintained at <a href="http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html">http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html</a>
+ as well as a large number of unofficial types. This
+ simplifies the <code>httpd.conf</code> file by providing the
+ majority of media-type definitions, and may be overridden by
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> directives as
+ needed. You should not edit the <code>mime.types</code> file,
+ because it may be replaced when you upgrade your server.</p>

+ <p>The case of the extension does not matter. Blank lines, and lines
+ beginning with a hash character (<code>#</code>) are ignored.
+ Empty lines are there for completeness (of the mime.types file).
+ Apache httpd can still determine these types with <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mime_magic.html">mod_mime_magic</a></code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <div class="note">
+ Please do <strong>not</strong> send requests to the Apache HTTP
+ Server Project to add any new entries in the distributed
+ <code>mime.types</code> file unless (1) they are already
+ registered with IANA, and (2) they use widely accepted,
+ non-conflicting filename extensions across platforms.
+ <code>category/x-subtype</code> requests will be automatically
+ rejected, as will any new two-letter extensions as they will
+ likely conflict later with the already crowded language and
+ character set namespace.
