Apache handlers are responsible about controlling your Apache web server software-that host your site- to manages certain file types and file extensions. The file extensions for these files include .cgi, .pl, .plx, .ppl, .perl, and .shtml. Set up a custom Apache handler for your site when you want to contain the process files..script extensions as Perl files.MIME Types vs Apache handlers. MIME types instruct the browser how to process files, whereas Apache handlers instruct the web server how to process files.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
