Summary
This module is used to associate various bits of "meta
information" with files by their filename extensions. This
information relates the filename of the document to it's
mime-type, language, character set and encoding. This
information is sent to the browser, and participates in content
negotiation, so the user's preferences are respected when
choosing one of several possible files to serve. See
mod_negotiation
for more information
about content negotiation.
The directives AddCharset
, AddEncoding
, AddLanguage
and AddType
are all used to map file
extensions onto the meta-information for that file. Respectively
they set the character set, content-encoding, content-language,
and MIME-type (content-type) of documents. The directive TypesConfig
is used to specify a
file which also maps extensions onto MIME types.
In addition, mod_mime
may define the handler and filters that originate and process
content. The directives AddHandler
, AddOutputFilter
, and AddInputFilter
control the modules
or scripts that serve the document. The MultiviewsMatch
directive allows
mod_negotiation
to consider these file extensions
to be included when testing Multiviews matches.
While mod_mime
associates meta-information
with filename extensions, the core
server
provides directives that are used to associate all the files in a
given container (e.g., <Location>
, <Directory>
, or <Files>
) with particular
meta-information. These directives include ForceType
, SetHandler
, SetInputFilter
, and SetOutputFilter
. The core directives
override any filename extension mappings defined in
mod_mime
.
Note that changing the meta-information for a file does not
change the value of the Last-Modified
header.
Thus, previously cached copies may still be used by a client or
proxy, with the previous headers. If you change the
meta-information (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.

Files with Multiple Extensions
Files can have more than one extension, and the order of the
extensions is normally irrelevant. For example, if the
file welcome.html.fr
maps onto content type
text/html
and language French then the file
welcome.fr.html
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
.gif
maps to the MIME-type image/gif
and
.html
maps to the MIME-type text/html
, then the
file welcome.gif.html
will be associated with the MIME-type
text/html
.
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 welcome.html.en.de
will be delivered with
Content-Language: en, de
and Content-Type:
text/html
.
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 .imap
extension is mapped to the handler imap-file
(from
mod_imap
) and the .html
extension is
mapped to the MIME-type text/html
, then the file
world.imap.html
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.
Content encoding
A file of a particular MIME type can additionally be encoded a
particular way to simplify transmission over the Internet.
While this usually will refer to compression, such as
gzip
, it can also refer to encryption, such a
pgp
or to an encoding such as UUencoding, which is
designed for transmitting a binary file in an ASCII (text)
format.
The
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.
By using more than one file extension (see section above about multiple file extensions), you can indicate that a file is of a particular type, and also has a particular encoding.
For example, you may have a file which is a Microsoft Word
document, which is pkzipped to reduce its size. If the
.doc
extension is associated with the Microsoft
Word file type, and the .zip
extension is
associated with the pkzip file encoding, then the file
Resume.doc.zip
would be known to be a pkzip'ed Word
document.
Apache sends a Content-encoding
header with the
resource, in order to tell the client browser about the
encoding method.
Content-encoding: pkzip
Character sets and languages
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.
The character set, language, encoding and mime type are all
used in the process of content negotiation (See
mod_negotiation
) 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 AddCharset
,
AddEncoding
, AddLanguage
and AddType
directives
(and extensions listed in the MimeMagicFile
) participate in this select process.
Filename extensions that are only associated using the AddHandler
, AddInputFilter
or AddOutputFilter
directives may be included or excluded
from matching by using the MultiviewsMatch
directive.
Charset
To convey this further information, Apache optionally sends
a Content-Language
header, to specify the language
that the document is in, and can append additional information
onto the Content-Type
header to indicate the
particular character set that should be used to correctly
render the information.
Content-Language: en, fr
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
The language specification is the two-letter abbreviation
for the language. The charset
is the name of the
particular character set which should be used.

Then the document xxxx.ja.jis
will be treated
as being a Japanese document whose charset is ISO-2022-JP
(as will the document xxxx.jis.ja
). The
AddCharset
directive is useful for both to
inform the client about the character encoding of the document so that
the document can be interpreted and displayed appropriately, and for content negotiation,
where the server returns one from several documents based on
the client's charset preference.
The extension argument is case-insensitive, and can be specified with or without a leading dot.

The AddEncoding
directive maps the given

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

activate CGI scripts with the file extension .cgi
, you
might use:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Once that has been put into your httpd.conf file, any file containing
the .cgi
extension will be treated as a CGI program.

AddInputFilter
maps the filename extension
extension to the filters which
will process client requests and POST input when they are received by
the server. This is in addition to any filters defined elsewhere,
including the SetInputFilter
directive. This mapping is merged over any already in force, overriding
any mappings that already exist for the same extension.
If more than one filter is specified, they must be separated by semicolons in the order in which they should process the content. Both the filter and extension arguments are case-insensitive, and the extension may be specified with or without a leading dot.

The AddLanguage

MIME-lang is the MIME language of filenames containing
extension. This mapping is added to any already in force,
overriding any mappings that already exist for the same
extension.
Пример
AddEncoding x-compress .Z
AddLanguage en .en
AddLanguage fr .fr
Then the document xxxx.en.Z
will be treated as
being a compressed English document (as will the document
xxxx.Z.en
). Although the content language is
reported to the client, the browser is unlikely to use this
information. The AddLanguage
directive is
more useful for content
negotiation, where the server returns one from several documents
based on the client's language preference.
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:
AddLanguage en .en
AddLanguage en-gb .en
AddLanguage en-us .en
documents with the extension .en
would be treated as
being en-us
.

from the server before they are sent to the client. This is in
addition to any filters defined elsewhere, including SetOutputFilter
and AddOutputFilterByType
directive. This mapping is merged
over any already in force, overriding any mappings that already exist

The DefaultLanguage
directive tells Apache
that all files in the directive's scope (e.g., all files
covered by the current <Directory>
container) that don't have an explicit language
extension (such as .fr
or .de
as configured
by AddLanguage
) should be
considered to be in the specified MIME-lang 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, DefaultLanguage
can only specify a single language.
If no DefaultLanguage
directive is in force,
and a file does not have any language extensions as configured
by AddLanguage
, then that file
will be considered to have no language attribute.

The ModMimeUsePathInfo
directive is used to
combine the filename with the path_info

If you have a request for /bar/foo.shtml
where
/bar
is a Location and ModMimeUsePathInfo

MultiviewsMatch
permits three different
behaviors for mod_negotiation's
Multiviews feature. Multiviews allows a request for a file,
e.g. index.html
, to match any negotiated
extensions following the base request, e.g.
index.html.en
, index.html.fr
, or
index.html.gz
.
The NegotiatedOnly
option provides that every extension
following the base name must correlate to a recognized
mod_mime
extension for content negotation, e.g.
Charset, Content-Type, Language, or Encoding. This is the strictest
implementation with the fewest unexpected side effects, and is the
default behavior.
To include extensions associated with Handlers and/or Filters,
set the MultiviewsMatch
directive to either
Handlers
, Filters
, or both option keywords.
If all other factors are equal, the smallest file will be served,
e.g. in deciding between index.html.cgi
of 500
bytes and index.html.pl
of 1000 bytes, the .cgi
file would win in this example. Users of .asis
files
might prefer to use the Handler option, if .asis
files are
associated with the asis-handler
.
You may finally allow Any
extensions to match, even if
mod_mime
doesn't recognize the extension. This was the
behavior in Apache 1.3, and can cause unpredicatable results, such as
serving .old or .bak files the webmaster never expected to be served.
For example, the following configuration will allow handlers and filters to participate in Multviews, but will exclude unknown files:
