MIME Type Attributes

Each MIME type may have the following attributes:

MIME Type Attribute	Description
type	The MIME type unique name (mandatory).
extensions	A comma separated list of file extensions mapped to this MIME type (mandatory).
index	True if this MIME type should be indexed for archive searching (valid only for supported archive files).
archive	True if this MIME type is a browsable archive.
viewable	True if this MIME type can be viewed as a text file inside Artifactory UI.
syntax	The UI highlighter syntax to for this MIME type (only relevant if this is a `viewable` type).
css	The css class of a display icon for this mime type.

Example of mimetype.xml

<mimetypes version="4">
    <mimetype type="text/plain" extensions="txt, properties, mf, asc" viewable="true" syntax="plain"/>
    <mimetype type="text/html" extensions="htm, html" viewable="true" syntax="xml"/>
    <mimetype type="text/css" extensions="css" viewable="true" syntax="css"/>
    <mimetype type="text/xsl" extensions="xsl" viewable="true" syntax="xml"/>
    <mimetype type="text/xslt" extensions="xslt" viewable="true" syntax="xml"/>
    <mimetype type="text/x-java-source" extensions="java" viewable="true" syntax="java"/>
    <mimetype type="text/x-javafx-source" extensions="fx" viewable="true" syntax="javafx"/>
</mimetypes>

For example, from the extensions parameter in the above mimtypes.xml file sample we can conclude that:

test.properties is a text/plain MIME type
test.css is a text/css MIME type
test.doc is an application/octet-stream MIME type since doc is not included in any of the other MIME types.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you restart Artifactory for your changes to take affect.

Artifactory MIME Types

Some of the Mime-Types specified in mimetypes.xml (e.g. application/x-checksum) are used by Artifactory. Great care should be taken before changing these Mime-Types to ensure Artifactory continues to function correctly.
