But the offical list doesn't mention such chestnuts as image/x-portable-anymap which is in *my* mime.types file... there are a whole load of entries in mime.types that aren't IANA registered.

Where di >they come from?!?!? There are a load of types which are there for historical reasons and they have to remain for reasons of backward compatibility. We only *add* IANA-registered types, but that doesn't mean we remove types that aren't IANA-registered. Tony. -- f.a.n.finch fanf@covalent.net dot@dotat.at 213 groundhog day massacre From: "Al B.

The mime types requested aren't currently registered with IANA, if and when they are, we will look at this again. State-Changed-From-To: suspended-closed State-Changed-By: wrowe State-Changed-When: Tue Aug 7 06:46:41 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: We are happy to entertain any new mime types added by IANA to the defaults distributed with Apache. We periodically look at the registered mime extensions list, and would be happy to receive notification that these have occured.
