vqServer File types


vqServer figures out the type of a file from its extension (which is the part of the file's name after the last .). This information is used in two ways:

  1. vqServer has to tell clients the MIME type of any data it sends them. vqServer figures out the MIME type of a file from its type.
  2. vqServer allows the use of filter servlets, through which the contents of a file can be passed before being sent to a client. You can specify a filter for files of a particular type (note that filters associated with an alias override filters associated with a file type).

File types page

This page is displayed by clicking on the File types option in the control centre menu. It displays a list of file extensions known to vqServer and the MIME type and filter associated with each extension.

By clicking on one of the icons next to a file type you can:

  • Edit the file type.
  • Delete the file type from the list.

You can also add a new file type to the list by clicking on New file type in the control centre menu.

When specifying a filter for a file type, note that the filter must consist of an alias (beginning with /) corresponding to a servlet or a list of aliases separated by ;.
