That is correct.

A file has to be loaded before you can test its MIME with the Netscape

test. The jpg file was not loaded when you went into check the Page

Info.

Yes, most are preset. Flash is relartively new so it is usually not

already set unless someone set it. It takes aboyt 5 minutes max. to set

but you may have to restart the server before changes take effect.

It is important to see that the MIME is set at the beginning of a

project not when you are ready to go live. MIME normally only needs to

be set once.
