A module provides basic functions for parsing mime-type names and matching them against a list of media-ranges.

This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can handle matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of the HTTP specification [RFC 2616] for a complete explanation:

Contents:

* parse_mime_type(): Parses a mime-type into its component parts. * parse_media_range(): Media-ranges are mime-types with wild-cards and a "q" quality parameter. * quality(): Determines the quality ("q") of a mime-type when compared against a list of media-ranges. * quality_parsed(): Just like quality() except the second parameter must be pre-parsed. * best_match(): Choose the mime-type with the highest quality ("q") from a list of candidates.
