Is there a difference between mimetype, contenttype and mediatype? (Java's JAX-RS MediaType).
From the wikipedia article i gathered that it's only a content-type in the context of e.g. HTTP requests as a field in a request's header: So are these just synonyms or are there any actual semantic differences between the different terms?

A MIME type (now properly called "media type", but also sometimes "content type") is a string sent along with a file indicating the type of the file (describing the content format, for example, a sound file might be labeled audio/ogg , or an image file image/png ).
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.
(Internet) Media Type is the proper technical term. Content-Type is the name of the HTTP header field used to specify the media type. MIME Type is the former name for Media Type.

Content-Type is an HTTP message header and its value is (generally) a MIME Type.
JAX-RS MediaType seems to be a Java rewrite for common MIME Types.
