In Firefox, you can select "View Page Info" from the right-click menu, and the mime type will be displayed.
But the same "View Page Info" command in Chrome does not show the mime type.
Feels like I'm overlooking something obvious.
A media type (also known as a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions or MIME type) indicates the nature and format of a document, file, or assortment of bytes. MIME types are defined and standardized in IETF's RFC 6838.
MIME types enable browsers to recognize the filetype of a file which has been sent via HTTP by the webserver. As a result the browser is able to choose a suitable displaying method. Common MIME types are for example text/html for html-files or image/jpeg for jpeg-files.
Earlier & later versions of Chrome may be slightly different
Chrome v50.0.2661.102 m
