For example, if a Microsoft Word document opens in the web browser as unreadable text, or if a .jar file is downloaded as a file with a .zip extension, the MIME types for these file extensions are not configured on the application server. In the first case, configure the extensions .doc and .docx with the MIME type application/msword. In the second case, configure the .jar extension with the MIME type application/x-jar.
For more information about configuring MIME types on application servers that are used by Rational® Asset Manager, see Setting server MIME types for common file formats.
Refer to the online help for your application server for complete instructions on configuring MIME types.
