<command>TypesConfig</command> names the file which sets the default list of MIME type mappings (file name extensions to content types). The default <command> TypesConfig</command> file is <filename>/etc/mime.types</filename>. Instead of editing <filename>/etc/mime.types</filename>, the recommended way to add MIME type mappings is to use the <command> AddType</command> directive.
