I have two applications as mentioned below:
As of now I have added mime type video/mp4
for .mp4 in IIS7 mime types section.
When I am trying to download the .mp4 file in iPad I am seeing a dark black screen with cross arrow on it. Can anyone please help me to resolve the issue.
Please tell me whether the mime type video/mp4
for .mp4 is correct.
For detecting MIME-types, use the aptly named "mimetype" command. It has a number of options for formatting the output, it even has an option for backward compatibility to "file". But most of all, it accepts input not only as file, but also via stdin/pipe, so you can avoid temporary files when processing streams.
A MIME type (also known as a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) is a standard that indicates the format of a file. It is a fundamental characteristic of a digital resource that influences its ability to be accessed and used over time.
According to RFC 4337 § 2, video/mp4
is indeed the correct Content-Type for MPEG-4 video.
Generally, you can find official MIME definitions by searching for the file extension and "IETF" or "RFC". The RFC (Request for Comments) articles published by the IETF (Internet Engineering Taskforce) define many Internet standards, including MIME types.
