sisx, sis and other mobile content MIME types

Permalink 15/Oct/2006 17:12 , Categories: Internet, Mobiles and Telecom

If you are looking to host some online content for Symbian Phones or others, there is a requirement to work out the right MIME types that the phone / device is going to expect from your webserver. After spending 45 minutes trying to work out what they are, I am posting them here for your viewing and usage pleasures. These are only for content types that I've come across and required so far. If there are others you are aware of, please do post them in the comments to this blog.

You should just be able to drop these into a file ( eg. mobile-content.conf ) in the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ directory and reload apache server.

# Symbian Specific:
AddType application/octet-stream sisx
AddType application/vnd.symbian.install sis

AddType application/java-archive jar
AddType application/x-java-archive jar
AddType text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad

AddType text/vnd.wap.wml wml
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmls
AddType text/vnd.wap.wmlscript wmlsc
AddType application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc wmlscriptc

I'm using the same "AddType application/octet-stream sisx
AddType application/vnd.symbian.install sis"
as you did. I need make 3 phones(nok 6620, 6682, and e62) share the same sisx file, so
i modified it to
"AddType application/octet-stream .sisx
AddType application/vnd.symbian.install .sis .sisx".
In this case 6620, 6682 work fine, e62 shows unsupport file. So I modified it to
"AddType application/vnd.symbian.install .sis .sisx
AddType application/octet-stream .sisx"
Now the 6682 and E62 work, but the 6620 shows "page can not be displayed". Looks like
the sisx only can be asigned to one header. Any suggestion?
Thanks

Many thanks for posting this! I had already spent an hour looking through old mime type descriptions without finding anything on Symbian!
