What is the correct MIME-type for SolidWorks drawings?

"application/octet-stream" ?

I have checked IANA (http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/) and
FileExt (http://filext.com/)

Best regards

MIME = Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
I think you've tried to use the wrong applications to open/use the file(s).
They are not intended for Email files AFAIK.

I have been off this topic for a while...
From Solidworks FAQ:
http://www.solidworks.com/pages/products/edrawings/faq.html?pid=27
I cut and paste:
%<------
Why do I get error messages serving eDrawings over IIS6/Windows Server 2003?
You must add the correct MIME types for .eprt, .easm, .edrw, etc...
files in your IIS settings before IIS6 will serve them over HTTP.
------>%
It is essential that the HTTP server sends this information to the
browser for it to open the file with the correct application. (As Cliff
wrote, it is also used by e-mail software).

Does anyone know the correct MIME types for these?

I guess I don't fully understand your question but:



If you have website serve IIS6 and you like it to serve some unusual file types (like *.eprt) you have to tell it that
it is ok to do so (it is security thing).

You do it by simply typing .extension and description in MIME area under website properties

If you don't do it and you have a link pointing to one of the unusual files u will get error message page, server simply
will not send files that are not defined.

Also make sure that client side have proper application to open this type of file



I hope this helps

On my apache server

application/sldworks sldasm slddrw sldprt User

so I would guess:

application/edrawings easm etc. User

Note that the string after application is the name of the executable.
But I'm just guessing a bit here.
