Apache Reference: mod_mime

mod_mime - Fixed Content Type/Encoding Assignment
Since Apache 1.0, src/modules/standard/mod_mime.c
Rob McCool (1995)

mod_mime provides for static assigning of MIME content types and encodings to documents. This assignment is primarily carried out through the file extensions of the documents. For more advanced mappings, one can use mod_mime_magic. Nevertheless, mod_mime is very important in Apache, because many other modules depend on mod_mime content-type tables.
