vCard

From DreamHost

vCard is a file format standard for personal data interchange, specifically electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to email messages, but can be exchanged in other ways, such as on the World Wide Web. They can contain name and address information, phone numbers, URLs, logos, photographs, and even audio clips.

Setup

To set up a vCard for downloading instead of viewing it as a text file, you must add the following line to your .htaccess file:

AddType text/x-vcard .vcf

This method will also work with other mime types that are not registered with our Apache service.
