A multipurpose internet mail extension, or MIME type, is an internet standard that describes the contents of internet files based on their natures and formats. This cataloging helps the browser open the file with the appropriate extension or plugin. Although the term includes the word “mail,” it is used for web pages, too.
MIME types contain two parts: a type and a sub-type.
Here is the MIME type for HTML:
MIME types are defined in HTML by the
Following is a list of most MIME types, with their file extensions and the applications that use them. Many computers use file extensions to help identify file types. So, if you have a file with an odd extension on your website, you can look up the MIME type in this list.
Some types are prefixed with X, and some are prefixed with VND. These prefixes, respectively, refer to sub-types not listed with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or values specific to a vendor.
I have a problem in IIS whereby I have installed a web applcation that runs using .NET but when you navigate to it none of the images are displayed and the CSS is not being used, so the page is completely unformatted.
I am stumped by this but I was wondering if it could be something to do with permitted MIME types, so was going to check which ones were permitted when i noticed tghat the MIME types option is not present.
I can see it in IIS on another server in the IIS section when you click on a site, but it is just not present on this server. Does anyone know:
a) Why it is not there and how you can get it backb) If it could be the cause of the problem whereby the CSS is not detected and no images are shown?
I hope that I've explained this properly but will be happy to provide any more information to anyone that is happy to help!! :-)
Thanks

If you need to add specific MIME types then you can use the newly installed MIME Types

This is the answer for non-server users, I have Windows 10 and the comment of Phil (see answer below) worked for me:
'And if you're on a non-server OS like Windows 8, do a search on the start page for 'Turn Windows features on or off' and enable InternetInformation Services ->World Wide Web Services ->Common HTTPFeatures -> Static Content'

OK, under IIS manager on W2k8 I see MIME Types under 'HTTP Features'. If you don't see the MIME Types configuration option, then you may need to follow Junto's steps in the answer above to install support for static files in IIS.
