MIME types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions. For example,
the text/html MIME type equates to .htm, .html, and .shtml extensions
on most servers, and this tells your browser to interpret all files with
those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or add new MIME types
specifically for your site (note that you can not alter the system
defined MIME type values). MIME types are often used to handle new
technologies as they appear. When WAP technology first appeared no one
had these extensions set up on their server. With MIME types, however,
you could have set it up yourself and begun serving WAP pages
immediately.
