Configuring MIME Types
Some special configuration may be required for servers when generating active charts. As noted earlier, the active charts utilize .NET Client Assemblies which are downloaded and run on clients. In order for the server to provide the client assemblies, it may be required to add the MIME type for the dll file type.
Some servers include an XML file (web.xml) with all the supported MIME Types. Others support a utility in the administration tools to add the MIME Type. Below is the MIME Type that must be added:
Extension: DLL MIME Type: application/x-msdownload
If your server supports an XML file, the entry may look something like:
<mime-mapping> <extension>DLL</extension> <mime-type>application/x-msdownload</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
|
If you wish to configure your server to host Active Charts using an ActiveX component the MIME configuration is as simple as configuring charts for the .NET Framework.
Extension: CAB MIME Type: application/x-msdownload
<mime-mapping> <extension>CAB</extension> <mime-type>application/x-msdownload</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
