HTTP“Content-Type”标头的所有可能值是什么？

Question

I have to validate the Content-Type header value before passing it to an HTTP request.

Is there a specific list for all the possible values of Content-Type ?

Otherwise, is there a way to validate the content type before using it in an HTTP request?

Answer 1

You can find every content type here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml

The most common type are:

1. Type application

   application/java-archive application/EDI-X12 application/EDIFACT application/javascript application/octet-stream application/ogg application/pdf application/xhtml+xml application/x-shockwave-flash application/json application/ld+json application/xml application/zip application/x-www-form-urlencoded

2. Type audio

   audio/mpeg audio/x-ms-wma audio/vnd.rn-realaudio audio/x-wav

3. Type image

   image/gif image/jpeg image/png image/tiff image/vnd.microsoft.icon image/x-icon image/vnd.djvu image/svg+xml

4. Type multipart

   multipart/mixed multipart/alternative multipart/related (using by MHTML (HTML mail).) multipart/form-data

5. Type text

   text/css text/csv text/html text/javascript (obsolete) text/plain text/xml

6. Type video

   video/mpeg video/mp4 video/quicktime video/x-ms-wmv video/x-msvideo video/x-flv video/webm

7. Type vnd :

    application/vnd.android.package-archive application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.graphics application/vnd.ms-excel application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet application/vnd.ms-powerpoint application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation application/msword application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml

As is defined in RFC 1341 :

In the Extended BNF notation of RFC 822, a Content-Type header field value is defined as follows:

Content-Type := type "/" subtype *[";" parameter]

type := "application" / "audio" / "image" / "message" / "multipart" / "text" / "video" / x-token

x-token := < The two characters "X-" followed, with no intervening white space, by any token >

subtype := token

parameter := attribute "=" value

attribute := token

value := token / quoted-string

token := 1*

tspecials := "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" ; Must be in / "," / ";" / ":" / "\\" / <"> ; quoted-string, / "/" / "[" / "]" / "?" / "." ; to use within / "=" ; parameter values

And a list of known MIME types that can follow it (or, as Joe remarks, the IANA source ).

As you can see the list is way too big for you to validate against all of them. What you can do is validate against the general format and the type attribute to make sure that is correct (the set of options is small) and just assume that what follows it is correct (and of course catch any exceptions you might encounter when you put it to actual use).

Also note the comment above:

If another primary type is to be used for any reason, it must be given a name starting with "X-" to indicate its non-standard status and to avoid any potential conflict with a future official name.

You'll notice that a lot of HTTP requests/responses include an X- header of some sort which are self defined, keep this in mind when validating the types.

Answer 3

I would aim at covering a subset of possible "Content-type" values, you question seems to focus on identifying known content types.

@Jeroen RFC 1341 reference is great, but for an fairly exhaustive list IANA keeps a web page of officially registered media types here .

Answer 4

如果您使用的是 jaxrs 或任何其他，那么在发送请求之前会有一个名为 mediatype.User 拦截器的类，并将其与此进行比较。

Answer 5

is there the code snippet that can accept all types

for example : like "*"
