要学习content-type,必须事先知道它到底是什么,是干什么用的。
HTTP协议(RFC2616)采用了请求/响应模型。客户端向服务器发送一个请求,请求头包含请求的方法、URI、协议版本、以及包含请求修饰符、客户 信息和内容的类似于MIME的消息结构。服务器以一个状态行作为响应,相应的内容包括消息协议的版本,成功或者错误编码加上包含服务器信息、实体元信息以 及可能的实体内容。
通常HTTP消息由一个起始行,一个或者多个头域,一个只是头域结束的空行和可选的消息体组成。HTTP的头域包括通用头,请求头,响应头和实体头四个部分。每个头域由一个域名,冒号(:)和域值三部分组成。域名是大小写无关的,域 值前可以添加任何数量的空格符,头域可以被扩展为多行,在每行开始处,使用至少一个空格或制表符。
请求消息和响应消息都可以包含实体信息,实体信息一般由实体头域和实体组成。实体头域包含关于实体的原信息,实体头包括Allow、Content- Base、Content-Encoding、Content-Language、 Content-Length、Content-Location、Content-MD5、Content-Range、Content-Type、 Etag、Expires、Last-Modified、extension-header。
Content-Type是返回消息中非常重要的内容,表示后面的文档属于什么MIME类型。Content-Type: [type]/[subtype]; parameter。例如最常见的就是text/html,它的意思是说返回的内容是文本类型,这个文本又是HTML格式的。原则上浏览器会根据Content-Type来决定如何显示返回的消息体内容。
type有下面的形式。
Text:用于标准化地表示的文本信息,文本消息可以是多种字符集和或者多种格式的;
Multipart:用于连接消息体的多个部分构成一个消息,这些部分可以是不同类型的数据;
Application:用于传输应用程序数据或者二进制数据;
Message:用于包装一个E-mail消息;
Image:用于传输静态图片数据;
Audio:用于传输音频或者音声数据;
Video:用于传输动态影像数据,可以是与音频编辑在一起的视频数据格式。
subtype用于指定type的详细形式。content-type/subtype配对的集合和与此相关的参数,将随着时间而增长。为了确保这些值在一个有序而且公开的状态下开发,MIME使用Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)作为中心的注册机制来管理这些值。
parameter可以用来指定附加的信息,更多情况下是用于指定text/plain和text/htm等的文字编码方式的charset参数。MIME根据type制定了默认的subtype,当客户端不能确定消息的subtype的情况下,消息被看作默认的subtype进行处理。Text默认是text/plain,Application默认是application/octet-stream而Multipart默认情况下被看作multipart/mixed。
MIME定义在RFC-2046 MIME Part 2: Media Types 。

对于IE6浏览器来说,如果Content-Type中的类型和实际的消息体类型不一致,那么它会根据内容中的类型来分析实际应该是什么类型,对于JPG、GIF等常用图片格式都可以正确的识别出来,而不管Content-Type中写的是什么。
如果Content-Type中指定的是浏览器可以直接打开的类型,那么浏览器就会直接打开其内容显示出来,如果是被关联到其它应用程序的类型,这时就要查找注册表中关于这种类型的注册情况,如果是允许直接打开而不需要询问的,就会直接调出这个关联的应用程序来打开这个文件,但如果是不允许直接打开的,就会询问是否打开。对于没有关联到任何应用程序的类型,IE浏览器不知道它该如何打开,此时IE6就会把它当成XML来尝试打开。
如果要想实现文件下载,可以在http的头中加入:
fprintf( file, "Content-Disposition:attachment; filename=\"%s\" \r\n", fileName);
经过测试,html,pdf,gif等原来在网页中打开的文件都可以正常实现下载。
