You can use the -mimeinclude, -indmimeinclude, -mimeexclude, and -indmimeexclude MIME type criteria options to include or exclude MIME types.

Syntax restrictions

When you specify MIME type criteria, keep in mind the restrictions described in the following sections.

Using the wildcard character (*)

The asterisk (*) wildcard character does not operate as a regular expression for the value of the MIME type criteria. Instead, you can only use it to replace the entire MIME type or MIME sub-type.

For example, the following value is a valid substitute for text/html:

text/*

The following value is NOT a valid substitute for text/html:

text/h*

Multiple parameter values

When you specify a series of parameter values for a single instance of one of the MIME type criteria, and you use-quotation marks, you must enclose each separate parameter value in single-quotation marks. For example:

-mimeinclude 'text/plain' 'application/*'

If you enclose the entire sequence of parameter values, as follows:

-mimeinclude 'text/plain application/*'

Verity Spider considers the entire expression a single value.

You can also use multiple instances of the MIME type criteria, each with a single parameter value, where quotation marks are necessary only if you use the wildcard character (*). For example:

-mimeinclude text/plain
-mimeinclude 'application/*'.Setting MIME Types
