Title : Media Type Sniffing
Author(s) : A. Barth, I. Hickson
Filename : draft-ietf-websec-mime-sniff-01.txt
Pages : 21
Date : 2011-01-24
Many web servers supply incorrect Content-Type header fields with
their HTTP responses. In order to be compatible with these servers,
user agents consider the content of HTTP responses as well as the
Content-Type header fields when determining the effective media type
of the response. This document describes an algorithm for
determining the effective media type of HTTP responses that balances
security and compatibility considerations.
