Multipart Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
从老外网站上转来的一张相当完善的Content-Type表，部分文字做了翻译，可以直接查看
http://www.utoronto.ca/webdocs/HTMLdocs/Book/Book-3ed/appb/mimetype.html
不过这篇文章非常古老，96年的，现在又有很多新的MIME条目，这里有一篇比较新的 MIME简介与MIME类型大全，可以参看。
web服务器本身也都内置了MIME配置文件，如apache，在linux下，它一般在/etc/mime.types (fedora, centos,redhat系列), 也可能在/usr/local/apache/etc/mime.types (好像这个位置是更合理更“默认”) ，这里有一篇fedora14上apache的MIME文件可以参看。
Multipart Internet Mail Extensions (MIME)
The following table lists many of the MIME content-types currently in use on the Web, and gives the data type associacted with the MIME type name. There are in some cases more than one MIME type in use for a given data type.
下表列出了目前在网站上使用许多MIME类型，并给出了数据类型与相关联的MIME类型名称。在某些情况下一个给定的数据类型有多个MIME类型。
The types are divided into the following categories:To make this table easier to use, some types appearunder more than one category
类型分为以下几种：
为了使这个表更容易使用，某些类型在不止一个分类出现
