Initialization Module

This module resisters all the plug & play software modules which will be used in the program on client side (The server has it's own initialization module). The module is a part of the CERN Common WWW Library.

The initialization consists of two phases: Setting up the MIME type conversions and defining the relation between a basic set of file suffixes and MIME types. To override this, just copy it and link in your version before you link with the library.

Implemented by HTInit.c by default.

#include "HTUtils.h"
#include "HTList.h"

MIME Type Conversions

Two default functions can be used to do the MIME type initialization. The first contains all MIME types the client can handle plus the types that can be handled using save and execute calls, e.g. to start a PostScript viewer. The second function only contains MIME type conversions that can be handled internally in the client. As an example, the latter is used when Line Mode Browser is started in Non-Interactive mode.

PUBLIC void HTFormatInit PARAMS((HTList * conversions));
PUBLIC void HTFormatInitNIM PARAMS((HTList * conversions));

File Suffix Setup

This functions defines a basic set of file suffixes and the corresponding MIME types.

PUBLIC void HTFileInit NOPARAMS;

End of HTInit Module.
