• Types MIME •

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) est une norme qui a été établie, en 1991, par les laboratoires Bell Communications.
Il permet d'enrichir les courriers électroniques (mail) avec, notamment, la posibiolité d'insérer des documents de type image, son, texte, ...

Le type MIME est également utilisé pour typer les documents transférés par le protocole HTTP.
Lors la transmission d'un fichier entre un serveur web et un navigateur internet, le serveur web commence par envoyer le type MIME du fichier, afin que navigateur sache comment l'afficher.

En HTML le type MIME permet donc de renseigner :

  • l'attribut type des balises suivantes : <LINK /> <OBJECT> <PARAM> <SCRIPT> <STYLE>
  • l'attribut content-type de la balise : <META />
Les types MIME sont normalisés par l'IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority).
