Type of media Internet

A standard of media Internet , initially called Type MIME after standard MIME or of contents (content-type in English) is an identifier in two parts to describe the formats of files on Internet. The identifiers are, at the origin, defined in the RFC 2046 for the sending by email through the protocol smtp but their use was extended to other protocols like HTTP and SIP.

A type of media is composed of at least two parts: a standard , a optional sub-type and one or more parameters. For example, the sub-types of the text type can have a parameter charset to specify to them Codage of characters and the sub-types of multipart often define a boundary between the various parts.

The types which start with X are not standard, they are not recorded at the IANA. The sub-types which start with vnd. is specific to their suppliers/creative.
