You can use the MIME type criteria options, -mimeinclude
, -indmimeinclude
, -mimeexclude
, and -indmimeexclude
, to include or exclude MIME types.
This section describes the following topics:
When you specify MIME type criteria, keep in mind the restrictions described in the following sections.
The asterisk (*) wildcard character does not operate as a regular expression for the value of the MIME type criteria. Instead, you can only use it to replace the entire MIME type or MIME sub-type.
For example, the following value is a valid substitute for text/html:
text/*
The following value is NOT a valid substitute for text/html:
text/h*
When you specify a series of parameter values for a single instance of one of the MIME type criteria, and you use-quotation marks, you must enclose each separate parameter value in single-quotation marks. For example:
-mimeinclude 'text/plain' 'application/*'
If you enclose the entire sequence of parameter values, as follows:
-mimeinclude 'text/plain application/*'
Verity Spider considers the entire expression a single value.
You can also use multiple instances of the MIME type criteria, each with a single parameter value, where quotation marks are necessary only if you use the wildcard character (*). For example:
-mimeinclude text/plain -mimeinclude 'application/*'.Setting MIME Types
