Background

HTTP is the application-layer protocol with which most web pages are transferred. As part of the connection between client and server in HTTP 1.1, the client lists in what way it can/prefers to accept information (content negotiation). This preference controls which MIME types the application will report it supports.

[edit]

Possible values and their effects

A comma-seperated list of MIME types with optional "q" (quality) values. A quality value says that the application prefers one type over another, but supports both. Quality values can be from 0 (not supported) to 1 (preferred format). If a quality value is omitted, it defaults to 1.

Minimo default: 

text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif;q=0.2,*/*;q=0.1

All others default: 

text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5

Default in trunk builds after 2007-03-08: 

text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
