Questions tagged [content-type]

The Content-Type entity-header field indicates the media type of the entity-body sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD method, the media type that would have been sent had the request been a GET.

The Content-Type entity-header field indicates the media type (or MIME type) of the entity-body sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD method, the media type that would have been sent had the request been a GET.

Content-Type   = "Content-Type" ":" media-type

An example of the field for HTML documents is:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-4
