Setting the MIME type of an Adobe AIR file

July 10th, 2007 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

If your web server refuses to serve-up your shiny new AIR app, the problem just might be the MIME type or lack there of.  Mike Chambers posted on this topic awhile back and I bumped into it again yesterday (how quickly we forget!) so I thought I’d blog it for my own sake and yours.

The correct MIME type for AIR apps is:

application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip (sheew that’s a mouthful!)

Consult the documentation of your preffered web server for instructions on setting MIME types.
