I would like to host a handful of Java Web Start applications in my domain but this requires the presence of a MIME type that is not typically set up on most servers. According to the Java Web Start documentation, I need to: "Configure the Web server so that all files with the .jnlp file extension are set to the application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME type."

The documentation says it's easy to do this in Apache - just a single line to be added to the mime.types configuration file - but I have no idea if you are running Apache or whether I can access the necessary file even if you are running Apache.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to add this new MIME type? If the steps are not something I'm allowed to do, can I get one of the administrators to do it for me?

See if you can add the MIME type in .htaccess via the AddType directive. If you cannot, then unfortunately you will be unable to host that here.
