The /etc/httpd.mimetypes file contains the mapping of filename suffixes to MIME Content-Type. The format of each line is: suffix, Content-Type. Comments are introduced with a "#".
The node is not shipped with the /etc/httpd.mimetypes file. Instead, the node's system files include a sample file named /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample. Before you start using HTTP, make a copy of /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample and name the copy /etc/httpd.mimetypes.
If the file /etc/httpd.mimetypes is not installed, the HTTP server looks for the file /etc/httpd.mimetypes.sample as a fallback.
