BlueZone Web-to-Host can be installed on any web server, including the Microsoft 2003 IIS 6.0 web server. However, because
of new security features, the default settings of IIS version 6.0 will not allow the downloading of the unique file types
associated with BlueZone Web-to-Host.
In order accommodate this change, the unique BlueZone Web-to-Host file types must be added to the IIS MIME types list. To
accomplish this, we provide a VBScript (mime_map.vbs) that automatically adds all of the required file types to the IIS MIME types list.
Refer to
Installing on Windows IIS web server platform to learn how to use the provided VBScript to update the MIME types list.
It is possible that you may want to view the MIME types list or you might be in a situation where you may need to manually
upgrade an existing installation of BlueZone Web-to-Host making it necessary to configure the MIME types manually.
Note
This procedure applies to Microsoft Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 web servers only.

Tip If you are entering MIME types by hand, to save time, copy and paste the MIME type application/octet-stream into each entry.
Note It is only necessary to add the file extensions for the BlueZone emulation clients that you intend to use. The common files
are required for all BlueZone Web-to-Host emulation clients.
