1. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to store content, the computer-readable storage medium comprising:
- instructions to accept a first request, the first request comprising a specified namespace, a specified resource name, a specified resource name extension, and a specified content type;
instructions to determine a scoping map that is applicable to the specified namespace, the scoping map comprising at least one entry, the entry comprising a mapping between a mapped resource name extension and a mapped content type;
instructions to determine that one or more entries in the scoping map is inconsistent with the specified content type;
instructions to store an association property, at a location exclusive of the scoping map, that relates the specified resource to the specified content type; and

8. A method of storing content on a web server, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first request at the web server, the first request comprising a specified URL and a specified content type, the specified URL comprising a specified namespace, a specified resource name, and a specified resource name extension; obtaining a scoping MIME map that is applicable to a portion of the specified URL, the scoping MIME map comprising a plurality of entries that relate mapped resource name extensions to mapped content types; determining that one or more of the plurality of entries is incompatible with the specified content type; storing a relationship, in a location exclusive of the scoping MIME map, between the specified URL and the specified content type; and determining, at the web server, to utilize the relationship to retrieve the specified content type corresponding to a second request associated with the specified URL. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
