How to know about the different Mime Types details.
Whenever we start writing code inside servlet very often we come across some general setting like…
PrintWriter
pw=response.getWriter();
and
response.setContentType("text/html");
if we specifically talk
about setContentType(-), this method indicates, In what kind of format ,data
should be printed on browser by default it prints in html format.
But the Question is how
can we know what all mime types are there and how do we gather it.
By seeing java notes or by
googling it .....Ofcourse, But its lengthy process!!!
Here
is the easiest way ...
its very
simple we can find it in just 3 steps ,nothing more.....
Step1) press window key+R
you'll get Run prompt there you type
"regedit" and then ok
for better visibility of image click on it.
***********************************************************************
Step2)Registry editor
will be opened...
Here you have to click
on "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"
************************************************************************
step3) Now Scroll Down, look for the extension you
want click
on that you will get mime type
************************************************************************
now copy and
paste in setContentType("application/msword")
That's how you can find mime type
for any format
Don't need to remember all mime types.
