With HTTP 1.1, a connection can be set to be persistent (similar to Keep Alive
in HTTP 1.0). However, even if a connection is persistent, it still needs to have
a time-out setting or it might consume system resources.
Normally, you should not change the persistent connection time-out. The
default setting is sufficient in most cases.
1
From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server
servername > Server Preferences > Performance Tuning.
2
In the HTTP Persistent Connection Time-out field, enter a number
(representing seconds).
3
Click OK > Save and Apply.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) types control what types of
multimedia files your e-mail system supports. You can also use MIME types
to specify what file extensions belong to certain server file types (for example,
to designate what files are CGI programs).
Adding a New Mime Type
1
From the Web Manager home page, click Enterprise Web Server
servername > Server Preferences > MIME Types.
2
From the Category drop-down list, select a category.
Type is the file or application type, Enc is the encoding used for
compression, and Lang is the language encoding.
3
In the Content-Type field, enter the context type that will appear in the
HTTP header.
The receiving client uses the header string to determine how to handle the
file. The standard strings are listed in RFC 1521.
4
In the File Suffix field, enter the file suffix.
This is the file extension that maps to the MIME type. To specify more
than one extension, separate the entries with a comma and do not include
any spaces. Do not map one file extension to two MIME types.

Click New Type.
