Mime type & Char set in IIS5/IIS6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi All,

I need to specify a character set for .apml(custom file type which I want to use) files on iis 5/ iis 6. I tried adding a MIME type ".apml" with content-type=text/xxx.apml;charset=utf-8 but it doesn't seem to work.

It causes a 405 "Method not allowed" error, as if it does not recognize that a browser accepting "text/xxx.apml".

Is there any other way to specify charset in iis?

This works perfectly on Apache webserver by adding the following lines

AddType text/xxx.apml .apml
AddCharset UTF-8 .apml

Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
