TypesConfig points to the file containing the list of mappings from

filename extension to MIME-type.

AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration

file specified in TypesConfig for specific file types.

#
#AddType application/x-gzip .tgz
#

AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress

information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.

#
#AddEncoding x-compress .Z
#AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
#

If the AddEncoding directives above are commented-out, then you

probably should define those extensions to indicate media types:

AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":

actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server

or added with the Action directive (see below)

(You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)

Filters allow you to process content before it is sent to the client.

(You will also need to add "Includes" to the "Options" directive.)
