问题
I have a PHP script that I use to download different types of files (PDF, JPEG, RAR end other). Works great, however I noticed an issue there with the MIME-type.
Is there a universal MIME-type I can safely use for "general purpose"? I am thinking of application/octet-stream for all file types.
Or should I do the MIME for each file type individually?
It's supposed to deliver downloads, it's not important to open the files in apps directly.
回答1:
If you just want to deliver files and don't care about the type of application needed to open it, then it's safe to specify the file mime type as application/octet-stream
. However you should specify that it should be saved and should not be attempted to be opened inline within the browser.
you should specify the header as:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.png"
It informs the browser (or the client application) that the file should be downloaded and should not be attempted to be opened inline.
