We are currently having Content-Type: text/html.
We want to modify this to text/javascript or text/css.
We have tried this using rewrite rule, mod_headers and also through mod_mime, but we are unable to modify it.
Any suggestion?
Assuming you have certain text files in a directory say styles add a .htaccess file in the root directory and add the following content:
<Location /styles>
ForceType text/css
</Location>
And use the similar concept for javascript as well
I had solved this by changing the content type in application servers of content.

I am encountering some behaviour from a produciton server and I was wondering if someone could confirm if something is possible and how it might have been done.
I have a website www.example.com with SSL enabled and all traffic forwarding to https
On that site I have a font file https://www.example.com/wp-content/assets/fonts/icons.ttf
I have additional campaign sites (e.g www.examplecampaign.com) that use the css file from example.com which loads in a font face using that font file. I am actually adding all the relevant file types woff, etc but will refer to ttf for simplicity. The icon font displays fine on www.example.com but on www.examplecampaign.com because in Firefox I get the error
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.example.com/wp-content/assets/fonts/icons.ttf. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.
So here begins my problem. On our stage server which we have full access to I can add
# BEGIN REQUIRED FOR WEBFONTS
AddType font/ttf .ttf
AddType font/eot .eot
AddType font/otf .otf
AddType font/woff .woff
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|woff)$">
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>
# END REQUIRED FOR WEBFONTS
to the .htaccess file and that solves the problem. However on our produciton server which is owned and managed by the client this header modification is ignored. I am using http://web-sniffer.net/ to test this.
To further complicate things I hvae found that if I just added
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>
on my stage site the header would appear when requesting any page or resource BUT on the production server if I added that the Access-Control-Allow-Origin would appear on all pages apart from the font files (and possible other resources).
So my question is, is it possible in Apache to disable / ignore header modification for a certain file type(s) and how would that be done. It's weird that it's so specific. We no longer have sudo access and have to request changes to conf files which is one of the reasons im making this change in .htaccess not that I think that would matter where this is set? Also example.com is a wordpress site but I don't think that would affect anything? As it's working on stage but not produciton.
Does anyone know of the Apache configuration that would restrict the use of mod_header in that way?
Since the update to Mac OS Mavericks all my styles and scripts get served as text/html
I have no idea where I can change this behavior. I'm using the built in apache service
EDIT: I forgot to mention that static files works as expected. The files above get parsed by a php script to get served cached and compressed. I'm using header("Content-type: text/css") to define the content type
In your server/vhost config try adding:
AddType text/javascript .js
AddType text/css .css
If something else is already setting the type, you can try adding this instead:
<Files "*.js">
ForceType text/javascript
</Files>
<Files "*.css">
ForceType text/css
</Files>
After further digging into the cacheing script I found a flush() method forces PHP to add a text/html content type in the header. This happens right before I add headers like header("Content-type: text/css")
I've rewritten my class method and the output is now correct. Strange is that it doesn't cause the problem on my live server with the same cacheing class
I have a XML page www.example.com/page, but my server outputs it as text/plain as it doesn't have any extension.
So I want to add XML Header via .htaccess to all the files which doesn't have extension with a condition that the file exists.
As if file doesn't exist, program is executed from database and it decides what header to output, so I don't want to break that part by forcibly changing header.
Add a DefaultType text/xml (or whatever type you're using for your XML) to your .htaccess.
Other command you can put in your .htaccess (but it will force all files to have this content-type):
ForceType text/xml
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_mime.html#forcetype
I'd like to make my server apply gzip compression to html, php, javascript and css files.
I think I can do it by editing the .htaccess file. Can someone give me the exact code that I would have to add?
Also, if I add the appropriate code to an .htaccess file in the parent directory, does it automatically apply to all sub-directories too? For instance, if I have http://domain1.com pointed at my root directory and http://domain2.com pointed at a sub-directory, will the second domain provide compressed files without me needing to edit the .htaccess file in that directory too?
Thanks
Use mod_deflate
More info here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html
From the document that Peter Hall referenced on mod_deflate:
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/plain text/javascript application/javascript
And I believe that the answer is "yes" about the setting propagating down the directory tree to subdirectories. The best thing to do is check the response headers from the site (using FireBug or similar tool where you can watch the network traffic) and verify that the contents are compressed.
I've got this this rule in my htaccess file to force linked files to download rather than open in the browser:
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$">
ForceType application/octet-stream
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
</FilesMatch>
Is there a way to alter the RegExp so it only applies to files in a certain directory?
Thanks
Like #gumbo said, put the .htaccess file in the highest level folder you want to affect. and those settings will trickle down to sub folders. You may also want to make sure the headers module is enabled before using this in your htaccess file. The following line will generate an error if the headers module is not enabled:
Header set Content-Disposition attachment
here's an example that forces download of mp3 files only if the headers module is enabled:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(mp3|MP3)$">
ForceType audio/mpeg
Header set Content-Disposition "attachment"
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
Note: it does not enable the module, it just ignores anything inside the IfModule tags if the module is not enabled.
To enable apache modules you'll either need to edit your httpd.conf file or in wamp server you can click the wamp tray icon and select "Apache -> Apache Modules -> headers_module" or make sure it is checked.
You will probably need to put the directives in the .htaccess file in the particular directory.
Put it in a <Location> directive, and/or modify the regex to exclude slashes or as appropriate.
