MIME type for WP8 AET

I am looking for the Mime type for an aetx file.

This file is used when distributing a windows phone 8 application in house. a user downloads and installs this to their phone. But, when you download this file the phone does not give the option to install this enrollment token. I can only guess the web server is not set to the correct MIME type so the phone is responding appropriately.

my google skills have failed me on the occasion and the microsoft documentation is... sparse on this subject.

thanks for any help.

  • Finally found it. in the aet.xml file that's created when you generate one of these tokens you can see its an x509 certificate file.

    So, the mime type is:

    "application/c-x509-ca-cert"

    So you can host this on a secure site and then set the mime type for your users to download, hopefully it saves someone else some time.
