While using the f12 tools on ie, when I request a web page, the response header has a content type. Can this also be called MIME type? Or is there a difference?

content_type is an alias for mimetype. Historically, this parameter was only called mimetype, but since this is actually the value included in the HTTP Content-Type header, it can also include the character set encoding, which makes it more than just a MIME type specification.
MIME Content Types consist of a type (such as `` text'') and a subtype (such as `` html''). The most common MIME types relevant to the WWW are: A `` text'' Content-Type, which is used to represent textual information in a number of character sets and formatted text description languages in a standardised manner.
A Media type (formerly known as MIME type) is an identifier for file formats and format contents. Media types are used by different internet technologies like e-mail or HTTP. It consists of the type application with the subtype json.
There are two classes of type: discrete and multipart.
Strictly speaking MIME and content type are two different things. MIME is a set of standards that was written to extend the capabilities of email messages and has since been applied more broadly to internet content and HTTP. Content type is a header used both in email messages and HTTP.
Practically, however, content type and MIME type are used interchangeably.
To answer your question: In your context, there is no difference.
