mod_mime.html.en

    <p>The file contains lines in the format of the arguments to
    an <code class="directive"><a href="#addtype">AddType</a></code> directive:</p>

    <div class="example"><p><code>
      <var>media-type</var> [<var>extension</var>] ...
    </code></p></div>

    <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.
