MIME Types Supported

In addition to allowing clients to remotely monitor VTScada applications, the VTScada Thin Client Server will also send files of the following MIME types to a client:

 

  • MIME type: text/html.
    Hyper Text Markup Language. Both .HTML and .HTM file extensions supported.
  • MIME type: application/JavaScript
    JavaScript content - .js file extension
  • MIME type: text/xml
    Extensible Markup Language - .XML file extension

For example, if you have a configured VTScada Thin Client Server and any of your application folders contain an HTMLClosed Hyper Text Markup Language. Used for web pages. file, the server will serve that page to any client that requests it. Examples of URLs to access these files from a VTScada Thin Client Server can be found in the topic: URL Interpretation.

Clients attempting to access files of any type other than those specified in the preceding list will see an "Access denied" message rather than the file. This means that the VTScada Thin Client Server will not distribute your application’s .SRC, .INI or other files.

Files with one of the supported MIME type extensions, (.HTML, .HTM, .JS and .XML) are not served without authentication unless added to the [HTTP-Unauthenticated] section of your Setup.INI file.
Regardless of that protection, use care if storing sensitive information in a file having one of the listed extensions.
