Media Type and Subtype

This table lists the recognized media type and subtypes. The media

types listed are the currently defined types registered with the IANA

(Internet Assigned Number Authority). The SA8250 cannot

recognize all possible media subtypes, because many of them are

proprietary.

Media type recognition allows the XML engine to determine the

format of the message and the type of content being embedded. If a

media subtype is “xml,” the document is treated as an XML

document without further examination. If a media type indicates

explicitly non-XML, such as audio, video, or image, the document is

treated as non-XML.
