MIME Types for Civ3 Files

[GIDustin]

What are the MIME types for bic, bix, and biq? I need to know this for a web script I am working on.

Thanks

I suppose the answer is MIME type: application/*

MIME types are only used to tell the web browser what the file contents is. I have never seen a web browser display bic, box or biq files...

Further, the server must support the MIME types, which are set from the httpdconfig or htaccess files, before it will make a difference. If you have those server-side privaleges then you could set a new MIME type but it would be a waste of time.

You should really compress the bic, box, bq files to ZIP (mime type: application/zip) or whatever you prefer.

Actually, there is an option in the editor to compress BIC / BIX / BIQ using the same compression as the save games use.
