Basic Definition

Parameter Name
FMTTYPE
Purpose
To specify the content type of a referenced object.

Format Definition

The property parameter is defined by the following
notation:

  fmttypeparam       = "FMTTYPE" "=" iana-token
                                     ; A IANA registered content type
                                  / x-name
                                     ; A non-standard content type

Description

This parameter can be specified on properties that are used to reference an object. The parameter specifies the content type of the referenced object. For example, on the "ATTACH" property, a FTP type URI value does not, by itself, necessarily convey the type of content associated with the resource. The parameter value MUST be the TEXT for either an IANA registered content type or a non-standard content type.

Example:

ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/binary:ftp://domain.com/pub/docs/ agenda.doc
