The Web Runtime (WRT) environment includes a component that is able to detect when the user activates a widget for installation. It recognizes the file as a widget based on the file extension and MIME type. Therefore, if you decide to provide widgets on your Web site for download, you need to do the following to enable successful download and installation on mobile devices:
+Provide a URL to the widget on the Web site.
Specify the MIME type of the widget installation package in the HTTP response header. The MIME type must be application/x-nokia-widget.
The following is an example of how to define the widget MIME type for an Apache server configuration file:
AddType x-nokia-widget .wgz
Widgets do not need to be signed (for example, Symbian Signed) before deploying them on a mobile device.
