<h2>Summary</h2>
This module is used to determine various bits of "meta
information" about documents. This information relates to the
content of the document and is returned to the browser or used
in content-negotiation within the server. In addition, a
"handler" can be set for a document, which determines how the
document will be processed within the server.
<p>The directives <a href="#addcharset">AddCharset</a>, <a
href="#addencoding">AddEncoding</a>, <a
href="#addhandler">AddHandler</a>, <a
href="#addlanguage">AddLanguage</a> and <a
href="#addtype">AddType</a> are all used to map file extensions
onto the meta-information for that file. Respectively they set
the character set, content-encoding, handler, content-language,
and MIME-type (content-type) of documents. The directive <a
href="#typesconfig">TypesConfig</a> is used to specify a file
which also maps extensions onto MIME types. The directives <a
href="#forcetype">ForceType</a> and <a
href="#sethandler">SetHandler</a> are used to associated all
the files in a given location (<em>e.g.</em>, a particular
directory) onto a particular MIME type or handler.</p>
<p>Note that changing the type or encoding of 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.</p>

<h2><a id="multipleext" name="multipleext">Files with Multiple
Extensions</a></h2>
<p>Files can have more than one extension, and 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 which maps onto the same
type of meta-information, then the one to the right will be
used, except for languages and content encodings. For example, if
<code>.gif</code> maps to the MIME-type <code>image/gif</code> and
<code>.html</code> maps to the MIME-type <code>text/html</code>, then the
file <code>welcome.gif.html</code> will be associated with the MIME-type
<code>text/html</code>.</p>
<p>Languages and content encodings 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 MIME-type and a handler. This will
usually result in the request being by the module associated
with the handler. For example, if the <code>.imap</code>
extension is mapped to the handler "imap-file" (from mod_imap)
and the <code>.html</code> extension is mapped to the MIME-type
"text/html", then the file <code>world.imap.html</code> will be
associated with both the "imap-file" handler and "text/html"
MIME-type. When it is processed, the "imap-file" handler will
be used, and so it will be treated as a mod_imap imagemap
file.</p>

<p>The AddEncoding directive maps the given filename extensions
to the specified encoding type. <em>MIME-enc</em> is the MIME
encoding to use for documents containing the
<em>extension</em>. This mapping is added to any already in
force, overriding any mappings that already exist for the same
<em>extension</em>. Example:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>AddEncoding x-gzip .gz<br />
AddEncoding x-compress .Z</code>
</blockquote>
This will cause filenames containing the .gz extension to be
marked as encoded using the x-gzip encoding, and filenames
containing the .Z extension to be marked as encoded with
x-compress.
<p>Old clients expect <code>x-gzip</code> and
<code>x-compress</code>, however the standard dictates that
they're equivalent to <code>gzip</code> and
<code>compress</code> respectively. Apache does content
encoding comparisons by ignoring any leading <code>x-</code>.
When responding with an encoding Apache will use whatever form
(<em>i.e.</em>, <code>x-foo</code> or <code>foo</code>) the
client requested. If the client didn't specifically request a
particular form Apache will use the form given by the
<code>AddEncoding</code> directive. To make this long story
short, you should always use <code>x-gzip</code> and
<code>x-compress</code> for these two specific encodings. More
recent encodings, such as <code>deflate</code> should be
specified without the <code>x-</code>.</p>

be specified with or without a leading dot.</p>

<p>The AddLanguage directive maps the given filename extension
to the specified content language. <em>MIME-lang</em> is the
MIME language of filenames containing <em>extension</em>. This
mapping is added to any already in force, overriding any
mappings that already exist for the same

<p>Example:</p>

<code>AddEncoding x-compress .Z<br />

<p>Then the document <code>xxxx.en.Z</code> will be treated as
being a compressed English document (as will the document
<code>xxxx.Z.en</code>). Although the content language is
reported to the client, the browser is unlikely to use this
information. The AddLanguage directive is more useful for <a

where the server returns one from several documents based on
the client's language preference.</p>
<p>If multiple language assignments are made for the same
extension, the last one encountered is the one that is used.
That is, for the case of:</p>
<pre>
AddLanguage en .en
AddLanguage en-gb .en
AddLanguage en-us .en
</pre>
<p>documents with the extension "<code>.en</code>" would be
treated as being "<code>en-us</code>".</p>

<p>The AddType directive maps the given filename extensions
onto the specified content type. <em>MIME-type</em> is the MIME
type to use for filenames containing <em>extension</em>. This
mapping is added to any already in force, overriding any
mappings that already exist for the same <em>extension</em>.
This directive can be used to add mappings not listed in the
MIME types file (see the <code><a

Example:</p>
<blockquote>
<code>AddType image/gif .gif</code>
</blockquote>
It is recommended that new MIME types be added using the
AddType directive rather than changing the <a

<p>Note that, unlike the NCSA httpd, this directive cannot be
used to set the type of particular files.</p>

<p>The DefaultLanguage directive tells Apache that all files in
the directive's scope (<em>e.g.</em>, all files covered by the
current <code>&lt;Directory&gt;</code> container) that don't
have an explicit language extension (such as <samp>.fr</samp>
or <samp>.de</samp> as configured by <samp>AddLanguage</samp>)
should be considered to be in the specified <em>MIME-lang</em>
language. This allows entire directories to be marked as
containing Dutch content, for instance, without having to
rename each file. Note that unlike using extensions to specify
languages, <samp>DefaultLanguage</samp> can only specify a
single language.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<code>DefaultLanguage fr</code>
<p>If no <samp>DefaultLanguage</samp> directive is in force,
and a file does not have any language extensions as configured
by <samp>AddLanguage</samp>, then that file will be considered
to have no language attribute.</p>
