Method: MIME::Type.simplified

Defined in:
lib/mime/type.rb

.simplified(content_type) ⇒ Object

The MIME types main- and sub-label can both start with x-, which indicates that it is a non-registered name. Of course, after registration this flag can disappear, adds to the confusing proliferation of MIME types. The simplified string has the x- removed and are translated to lowercase.
