MIMEEXCS

Syntax

Envariable: N/A
Element: <MIMEEXCS>
content-type
content-type
...
</MIMEEXCS>
Command-line Option: N/A

Description

MIMEEXCS defines the list of content-types to exclude from processing. The exclusion occurs before the data is processed to any filters registered via the MIMEFILTERS resource.

For example, if MIMEEXCS is set to the following:

<MIMEExcs>
image/jpg
image/gif
</MIMEExcs>

Then JPEG and GIF images will be excluded.

Base types can be listed in order exclude all content-types with a give base. For example,

<MIMEExcs>
image
</MIMEExcs>

will exclude all images.

If all you want to do is include a specified set of media-types, then use the MIMEINCS resource instead.

Default Setting

Nil.

Resource Variables

N/A

Examples

The following example excludes all binaries, images, and postscript data:

<MIMEExcs>
application/octet-stream
application/postscript
image
</MIMEExcs>

The following is a very restrictive setting to minimize security risks and large data files:

<MIMEExcs>
application
image
audio
video
text/html
</MIMEExcs>

For tighter control of allowable media-types, see the MIMEINCS resource.
