AddIconByType directive


Purpose

Tells HTTPd what kind of an icon to show for a given filetype in a directory index.

You may wish to read the indexing tutorial for more information.


Syntax

AddIconByType icon type1 type2...

icon is a virtual path to an image file which should be shown for files which match the pattern of types. Alternatively, this can be a group of the format (alt,icon) where alt is a 3-letter text tag given for an icon for non-graphical browsers, and icon is a virtual path.

name is a wildcard expression of the MIME types for which to add this icon.

You may use as many AddIconByType directives as you wish.


File

srm.conf

Default

There are no default icons.


Example

AddIconByType /icons/image.xbm image/*

When HTTPd is indexing and finds a file which is an image, it will reference /icons/image.xbm as an image to show next to the filename.

AddIconByType (SND,/icons/sound.xbm) audio/*

This would reference /icons/sound.xbm as the image to show next to any sound file, with the textual ALT tag of SND for non-image clients.
