Content Types (the Edit Metadata menu) and .htc files Michael D. Muzzie <mdmuzzie[at]Princeton[dot]EDU> 26-09-2006
On our Roxen 4.5 installation, we need to add an .htc behavior file  
to unobtrusively add alpha-channel PNG support to Internet Explorer  
for embedded images.

..htc files are required to have a MIME-type of text/x-component (as  
of Windows XP SP2).

However, we cannot figure out how to configure Roxen so that that a  
new Content Type/mime-type shows up in the "Type" select menu in the  
"Metadata" area.

BTW, for the curious, here is some more info on HTCs, and then a link  
to what we are trying to do.
For Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later, HTML Components (HTCs)  
provide a mechanism to implement components in script as Dynamic HTML  
(DHTML) behaviors. An HTC is an HTML file that contains script and a  
set of HTC-specific elements that define the component; it is saved  
with an .htc extension
