vcard

Hi,
I have a Link to File action, where the file is a VCard. When I Preview in Browser this works fine: I am asked to add the card to Mail.

From the server I only get a page with the text from the VCard.
Any idea what’s wrong?
Regards, Wim

Your server doesn’t have the mime-type registered for a vcard. You
could try adding the type in the link by hand for a test. (You’ll need
to open the Freeway-generated HTML file with a text editor and add the
attribute in, save the file, and upload it manually. Each time you
publish from Freeway, your modified file will be overwritten, and
you’ll have to change it again.)

<a href="vcard.vcf" type="text/x-vcard">My VCard</a>

For a longer-term solution, if the above addition of type= works, then
you could hack the Action to add a “type” field. For an even better
solution, you should ask your hosting provider to add the mime type to
the server configuration. That will work universally.

Hello Walter,
thanks for your reply!

My internet provider told me they use for Apache the list of iana for the mime-type, and they say there is no Vcard definition in iana !
Indeed I cannot find it in
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/

Adding the type did not work for me…
