Content-Type(内容类型),一般是指网页中存在的 Content-Type,用于定义网络文件的类型和网页的编码,决定浏览器将以什么形式、什么编码读取这个文件,这就是经常看到一些 PHP 网页点击的结果却是下载一个文件或一张图片的原因。
Content-Type 标头告诉客户端实际返回的内容的内容类型。
语法格式:

  1. Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
  2. Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=something

实例:
image.png
常见的媒体格式类型如下:

  • text/html : HTML格式
  • text/plain :纯文本格式
  • text/xml : XML格式
  • image/gif :gif图片格式
  • image/jpeg :jpg图片格式
  • image/png:png图片格式

以application开头的媒体格式类型:

  • application/xhtml+xml :XHTML格式
  • application/xml: XML数据格式
  • application/atom+xml :Atom XML聚合格式
  • application/json: JSON数据格式
  • application/pdf:pdf格式
  • application/msword : Word文档格式
  • application/octet-stream : 二进制流数据(如常见的文件下载)
  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded :
    中默认的encType,form表单数据被编码为key/value格式发送到服务器(表单默认的提交数据的格式)

另外一种常见的媒体格式是上传文件之时使用的:

  • multipart/form-data : 需要在表单中进行文件上传时,就需要使用该格式
