well, A web server need to be configured to properly recognize new types of files. Most web servers are already configured to deal with the basic file types used on the web, however, if you are using a rare file type, or an older server, the server will have to be made aware.
It is neccessary to add the following configuration information (shown are QuickTime settings):
The MIME type of the file format:
video/quicktime
Th e extensions identifying the file format:
.qt .mov
In most UNIX web servers (Apache, Netscape, etc.) this can be set either globally for the whole server in the global .htaccess file, or by directory. To configure a directory and all its subdirectories to support a new file type, create a file called .htaccess in the directory (if it does not already exist) and add the following line:
AddType MIME_type extensions
AddType video/quicktime .qt .mov
On Macintosh webservers, these setting are usually in a Config menu (In Quid Pro Quo, an excellent web server, the settings are under Control:Configure Server... in the MIME mappings pane.).
