MIME-Version

 


 

 

MIME is HTTP's cousin. While they are radically different, some HTTP servers do construct messages that are valid under the MIME specification. When this is the case, the MIME-Version header can be supplied by the server.

This header has never been part of the official specification, although it is mentioned in the HTTP/1.0 specification. Many older servers send messages with this header, however, those messages often are not valid MIME messages, making this header both confusing and impossible to trust.
