WebSTAR 4 Manual & Technical Reference
Default File Suffix Mappings
These Suffix Mappings will allow the WebSTAR Web server to serve the most common file types without any additional configuration. Remember that order matters: the Web server uses the first matching suffix, serves the file using the Action and sets the header to the MIME type for the browser or other client to recognize.

RAW Files
Files with a type of "RAW!" and creator code of "WWWω" are always served as binary, no matter what the suffix is. Therefore, it's not possible to write CGIs or Plug-Ins that perform any actions on these files.
