You can configure MIME types using a web.config file if you are running IIS 7.0. For more information, see Modifying or Adding Custom MIME Types to Windows Hosting Accounts. If your account is running IIS 6.0, contact customer service to have additional MIME types added. Note that only application/octet-stream MIME types can be added in this manner.
The following MIME types are configured on Windows Shared Hosting accounts.
