That's correct.

BTW on Apache servers, the docs for doing it are in 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_mime.html (see the AddType 
directive there).

If you're on a machine with no access to the main configuration, you may 
be able to do your own settings in .htaccess.
Warning: take the time to really read the docs. It's easy to 
misconfigure things, and you won't get error messages if you get it wrong.
Test your setup. Whatever you change, upload files of the various types 
and see how your browser handles the downloads.

Regards,
Jo
