For a list of MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types visit:
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types
also available under:
http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/media-types

The format is "type/subtype".

In the HTTP terms this obviously is for setting the "ContentType" header to
the correct MIME type so the browser (or other software) knows the type of
file or data being returned.

Hope this helps,
