LIST of MIME TYPES
Here is a list of MIME types, correlated by type of records, ordered by their common extensions.
Two primary MIME types are important for the role of default types:
text/plain is the default preference for textual files. A textual file should be human-readable and must not contain binary data.
application/octet-stream is the default value for all other cases. An unknown file type should use this type. Browsers pay a particular care when manipulating these files, attempting to safeguard the user to prevent dangerous behaviors.
