MIME Types

Publishing .IOK files on Web Servers

web server MIME type configuration

Most web servers do not require any configuration at all.  However, publishing IOK files on a few web or content management servers may require the following MIME type configurations on the server:

Extension: .iok
MIME type: application/vnd.visokio.omniscope-iok  
(or use the generic binary mime type application/octet-stream if this causes problems)

Example: Configuring Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)

  1. In IIS Administrative Console snap-in, right click the entire server and select Properties.
  2. On the Internet Information Services tab, click the MIME Types button.
  3. Add a new MIME type.
  4. In the Extension box, type ".iok" (without the quotation marks), and then in the Content type (MIME) box, type "application/vnd.visokio.omniscope-iok" (without the quotation marks).
  5. Click OK, and then restart IIS.
