(IIS 6.0) Set MIME types

FH Web uses .xpi and .dmg extensions for client computers that use Safari or Firefox as a browser. For these plug-ins to run, IIS 6.0 requires that you have a document with an extension that does not have a registered MIME type on that server. Additional information on this requirement is available in "IIS 6.0 does not serve unknown MIME types," at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326965.
