MIME expands Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions. It is used to classify the file types on Internet.
Sometimes, the browser can not understand the file types of a file. At that time, we can instructs to browser, what file type is? using .htaccess. We can also create custom file type using it.
Syntax:
AddType text/plain .txt
where,
AddType - means that you are adding a new file type to MIME types.
text/plain - MIME type
.txt - extensions
Example:
AddType application/pdf .pf
AddType application/zip .zip
AddType image/jpeg .jpg .jpeg
