MIME settings

Hi,
I want to deploy a ClickOnce application through my site. The site is hosted at a web hosting company and I want to ask them to set up the MIME type for .application, .manifest and .deploy extensions. The problem is I coudn't find exactly what are the required MIME settings for these extensions in Beta 2. From the documentation it seems:
.application -> application/x-ms-application
.manifest -> application/x-ms-application
.deploy -> application/octet-stream
Can somebody confirm this?
Regards,
Valentin Iliescu

Those MIME types will work correctly. Technically all that matters for clickonce to work is that .application has the MIME type above & that the other two extensions have a MIME type. The MIME type of .application is used for activating the clickonce app. THe other 2 MIME types only matter because IIS6 won't serve up file types w/o MIME types.

It should be the following (according to the MSDN Library):

File name extension Content type

.application

application/x-ms-application

.manifest

application/x-ms-manifest

.deploy

application/octet-stream

Hello,

I am having problems getting my application to install after deploying it to my hosted website. I can download the setup.exe file to my computer, but then after I run it. It goes out to the website and pulls up MyApp.application as an xml file in the browser. I updated the MIME types on the server following the post above, but it still displays .application files as xml. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to make this work?

Thanks

BTW, the server is run on apache not IIS.

After searching a few other posts here, I found one that suggested to clear IE's cache and reboot. This works.
