MIME Types

If you have set a page to be served as Raw Content in Page Properties, you'll need to specify a MIME Type for the page.

A MIME Type is how web sites tell web browsers how to display content downloaded from the site. For example, web sites need to tell browsers that an image file is an image file and should be treated accordingly, while an HTML page is not an image, but an HTML page.

By default, EditMe serves all pages as HTML. However, if you've chosen to serve a page as Raw Content, you probably want to specify a different MIME Type. The following list covers the most common MIME Types that might be used with EditMe. See IANA: MIME Media Types for a complete list of accepted MIME Types.

MIME Type Description 
text/htmlUse this type if your page contains HTML content. Note that with the Raw Content option selected, you'll need to include a full HTML document, including the header and footer tags not normally needed in EditMe pages.
text/plain
Use this to serve your page as plain text. This will open the page and display the content in the browser as you see it in the editor in most cases. Some Windows browsers will open the page in Notepad.
text/css
For CSS stylesheets.
text/xml
For valid XML documents. This type can be used for all kinds of XML documents, including RSS and SGML.
text/csv
For Comma Separated Values data. Most browsers will attempt to load the content into a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel.
application/javascript
For Javascript content.
