Bug ID: 57778
Summary: Effect of AddType should be documented in more detail
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: sebast...@pipping.org
Hi!
The latest documentation of the AddType directive [1] says that it "maps the
given filename extensions onto the specified content type". What it is not
saying is what that mapping is responsible for.
I read the docs like adding a mapping results in a server response header
Content-type: xxxx
rathern than sending the type set by DefaultType, and nothing more.
A fellow developer explained that a call to AddType can affect the handler
used, too. Is that correct? Right now my impression is that AddType is more
like AddHandler /plus/ producing a Content-Type header rather than just
controlling server response header content. The docs should have an answer or
a quality pointer to more details, at least.
So please add details about the actual effects of using the Addtype directive.
Many thanks!
