What's the difference between mediatype, contenttype and mimetype?
content-type, http, mime-types
Solution
(Internet) Media Type is the proper technical term.
Content-Type is the name of the HTTP header field used to specify the media type.
MIME Type is the former name for Media Type.
Problem
Is there a difference between mimetype, contenttype and mediatype? (Java's JAX-RS MediaType). From the wikipedia article i gathered that it's only a content-type in the context of e.g. HTTP requests as a field in a request's header: So are these just synonyms or are there any actual semantic differences between the different terms?
