How to add/remove MIME types in cPanel?

[Aaron Martin]

I just finished reading MIME and decided to include MIME types. How do you go about doing it?

[Emerson Abby]

MIME is Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions.
It instructs browsers on how to handle specific file kinds. When a file has been sent to a browser of visitors to your website, it also conveys the file's MIME type.

On most servers, the text/HTML MIME type translates to.htm,.html, and .shtml extensions, and tells your browser to treat any files with those extensions as HTML files.

The procedure is as follows:
1. Log in to your cPanel account.
2. From Advance Section from your cPanel dashboard click the MIME Type icon.
3. From the MIME Types page under Create A MIME Type enter the following:
a. MIME Type: Enter the name of the file type’s handler in the MIME Type text box.
For example, application/ cgi
b. Extension(s):Enter the file extension in the Extension(s) text box.
For example: .cgi , Separate multiple extension types with a space
4. Click Add button.
5. To delete just click on the delete button.
6. You will get a success message after the required actions.

A MIME type is also known as "media type and “content-type".
