MediaTypes

This is a comprehensive compilation of media types under the RFC-6838 protocol that may be periodically updated through the following projects: Apache, NGINX and Debian

What is

A file's extension has no meaning on the web. In order for the client to interpret the document correctly, the media type must be sent in the Content-Type header.

This module extends the main methods of the EventEmitter module:

• addListener
• eventNames
• getMaxListeners
• listenerCount
• listeners
• off
• on
• once
• prependListener
• prependOnceListener
• removeAllListeners
• removeListener
• setMaxListeners
• rawListeners

Specifications

We strive to maintain complete code coverage in tests. With that, we provide all the necessary use cases for a good understanding of how this module works. See: test/MediaTypes.spec.js
