DESCRIPTION
You can use the object-type component to manage recognized types of objects. These object types are used to
classify documents processed by WebAccelerator. A document can be classified by its file extension or MIME
type.
EXAMPLES
create object-type documents.abcd extensions add { abc abcd } mime-types add { text/abcd text/x-abcd }
description ABCD
Creates a WebAccelerator object type named documents.abcd that includes all documents with extensions .abc or
.abcd, and MIME types text/abcd or text/x-abcd.
delete object-type documents.abcd
Deletes the pool named documents.abcd.
list object-type documents.abcd
Displays properties of the object-type named documents.abcd.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the object belongs. The default value is none.
Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
modify or delete the object. Only the application service can modify or delete the object.
code Specifies the numeric non-zero code of the object type, which is used troubleshooting and performance
reporting. Each object type must have unique code. If not supplied, it will be generated by the system.
Use keyword generate to have the system generate a new unique code.
compression
Specifies if this object type supports compression and when it can be enabled. The default value is
disabled.
Valid values are:
disabled
Never compresses the response. If you use this option, be aware that it overrides any compression
setting configured for the assembly rule that the WebAccelerator system matches to the specified
object type. You should use this option only if you want the WebAccelerator system to ignore
assembly rules for the specified object type.
policy-controlled
Specifies that compression is controlled by WebAccelerator policy. The compression setting is
specified in the assembly rule that the WebAccelerator system matched for this object type. In most
cases, you should use this option.
description
Specifies the object type description.
extensions
Specifies the extension the WebAccelerator system should find in the file name or Content-Disposition
header of the response, in order to match to the specified object type.
group
Displays the group portion of the name.
mime-types
Specifies the MIME-types that the WebAccelerator system should find in the Content-Type header of the
response, in order to match to the specified object type.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete,
and modify. The name of the object type must be in form group.type where group is used to organize
object type based on common usage pattern. for example, documents, binary, pages. The type is used
to uniquely identify the object type within a group.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the object type resides.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an
at sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help
regex for a description of regular expression syntax.
symmetric-compression
Specifies whether this object type will be compressed on the WAN link in a symmetric multibox deployment.
