Yes, it is.

Links for MIME why and how are under Server Setup

http://www.FlashCentral.com/Tech/Index.htm#Server

There is complete information there including a link to a MS KB article.

Note MS IIS (1-3) requires changing the registry and changes will not

take effect until after a reboot. MS IIS 4.0 (Option Pack 4) has a

different procedure that doesn't (normally) require rebooting and I have

provided it in a step-by-step manner.
