T616 Themes: Can download from Esato, but not my server. Why?

Posted by BoulderDash
Hi there,
I am a Mac user who has created a theme file using "Theme Creator Pro 3G" within my Mac's "VirtualPC" application. I then take that theme file from within VirtualPC ("osxjag.thm") and place it onto my Mac desktop. At that point I upload it to my website where I use the following code to try and download it with my Sony Ericsson T616 (which, admittedly, I don't know if it's correct code):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card id="card1" title="Themes">
Themes

<a href="osxjag.thm">OSXJag</a> 

</card>
</wml>

I can navigate to the page just fine with my Sony Ericsson T616 - however, I get an error saying "Item not supported, cannot be downloaded" when I try to download my theme.

What am I doing wrong... I was able to download themes from Esato's "wap.esato.com" website. Is it my wml coding? Is it converting the file from VirtualPC to the Mac and then uploading? I've tried .tar-ing the individual files with FreeTar (as explained in another post) to create a .thm file on the Mac and uploading that as well to no avail for download.

Thanks in advance if you have any thoughts,
BD

Okay! Okay!

After looking all over the place, I got the answer I needed right back here at Esato (though don't flame me, I had extensively looked before as well):

For theme files to be downloadable by the phone you need to
add a mimetype to the server.
if you run apache/*nix make sure to add
application/vnd.eri.thm thm
to /etc/mime.types otherwise read the man on the http server you use.
Oh and add
audio/imelody imy
too for imelodys to be downloadable.

using xhtml to create the wap pages is great!

It was the mimetypes which had been doing me in... but no more!
