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:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1
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.
