control MIME type for downloads in Domino

When downloading a JSON file from a Domino server (from the filesystem's domino/html directory, not from an .nsf file), its headers are not appropriate. I'm getting

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

instead of 

Content-Type: application/json

How can I set it to application/json (or anything else)?

Solution

  • In the Domino/Data folder, you'll see a configuration file named httpd.cnf. Add the following line at the end of that file, just before the fallback rule.

    AddType .json      application/json                     # JSON

    (Of course, you need to restart HTTP task after that.)
