Hi Pascal.  Not sure if this is what you're looking for--it's a cut and

paste from the macromedia site (support section, search on "mime") from

Netscape (probably if you get there from another browser it will give

you info for checking in that browser):


To check the MIME type settings on the server do the following: 


                 1 

                     

                       In Netscape, enter the server URL for the Flash

Player movie you want to check.  Note: To prevent a 'false reading' make

sure that the entire page finishes downloading before going on to step

2. 

                 2 

                     

                       Choose View > Page Info (or Document Info) This

opens a Document info window with 2 frames.

                 3 

                     

                       In the top frame, click the

"Embed:moviepath/moviename.swf" link that displays your moviepath and

moviename. 

                 4

                     

                       In the lower frame, read the File MIME type

listing. If the file MIME type is not application/x-shockwave-flash, the

server is not configured correctly. To correct the MIME type:  ... (link

to another page at macromedia site)
