数字数组的MIME类型？

[英]MIME Type for numerical arrays?

原文 2013-01-20 21:02:59 0 1 http/ mime

I am thinking about an application which will use HTTP to transfer blocks of numbers with data types like "network-endian, signed 32-bit integer" or "ieee binary64,network-endian" etc. For this application I (probably) want to put this type info in the HTTP headers rather than the message body. 我正在考虑一个应用程序，该应用程序将使用HTTP来传输数据类型为“网络端，带符号的32位整数”或“ ieee binary64，网络端”等数字类型的块。对于这个应用程序，我（可能）想要将此类型信息放入HTTP标头而不是消息正文中。

This seems to be a job for Content-Type header, but I know of no standard MIME types for this sort of thing. 这似乎是Content-Type标头的工作，但我不知道这类事情有标准的MIME类型。 Are there any? 有吗 If not, what is the best option? 如果没有，最好的选择是什么？ Invent a content-type? 发明内容类型？ Invent a new HTTP header? 发明一个新的HTTP标头？ Put it in the message body after all? 毕竟将其放在消息正文中？

If it's a header, the field name of the header defines its content, not the Content-Type; 如果是标题，则标题的字段名称定义其内容，而不是Content-Type； they should be completely separable. 它们应该是完全可分离的。 Ie, a Content-Type that has a particular relationship to / requirement for a header is a protocol design smell. 即，与报头具有特定关系/对报头的要求具有特定关系的内容类型是协议设计的味道。

I'd put it in the message body and mint a new media type -- but only after having a really long, hard look at the current options, of which there are many. 我将其放在消息正文中，并创建了一种新的媒体类型-但只有在对当前选项进行了很长时间的认真研究之后，才有很多选择。 Formats are hard. 格式很难。
