Uploading pxd files

After enabling a pxd for a given URL, the pxd file needs to be uploaded as a binary file type (not Macbinary or text) and must retain its .pxd extension. This may require your server to be "aware" of the pixound MIME type (see below). If any modifications are made to the pxd file during transfer, it will not work.

Preparing a server for pixound

Pixound requires no special server software nor any server licensing. Pixound web technology is entirely client-based and is only limited by the number of people who can visit your site at once. However, inorder for browser plug-ins to see the pxd files properly, a server must be made aware if the pixound MIME type.

Let your HTML server know about the new MIME type "audio/pixound" and associated file extension ".pxd". This is often done by adding an entry to a text file on the server (for example, editing a file called "mime.types" on a Netscape Commerce Server; or editing a file called ".bhtaccess" on best.com's servers).

On many systems, the MIME type mapping can be accomplished by creating a file named ".htaccess" containing the line:
AddType audio/pixound .pxd

We are working to get the pxd MIME type universally recognized so that this process will even easier.
