Configuring the Map Parser to MIME Types

Rewriter has four different parsers to parse the web pages based on the content type - HTML, JAVASCRIPT, CSS and XML. Common MIME types are associated with these parsers by default. You can associate new MIME types with these parsers in the Map Parser to MIME Types field of the Gateway service. This extends Rewriter functionality to other MIME types.

Separate multiple entries with a semicolon or a comma (";" or ",".)

For example:

HTML=text/html;text/htm;text/x-component;text/wml; text/vnl/wap.wml

means any content with these MIMEs are sent to the HTML Rewriter and HTML Rules would be applied to rewrite the URLs.

Removing unnecessary parsers from the MIME mappings list can increase the speed of operation. For example, if you are sure that the content from a certain intranet does not have any JavaScript, you can remove the JAVASCRIPT entry from the MIME mappings list.
