Web documents can be of different types as they can be sent via different protocols such as HTTP or email ( SMTP). The Mime type is specified to inform user agents about the type of content a document contains. In this eBook we follow RFC2045 and RFC2046 and use the phrase Content type rather than MIME type. So whenever you need to specify a MIME type, use Content type. Also see MIME type and Media type
