jpeg - What is the difference between: image/x-citrix-pjpeg and image/pjpeg -
some files uploaded reported mime type:
image/x-citrix-pjpeg
they valid jpeg files , accept them such.
i wondering however: why mime type different?
there difference in format? or mimetype invented light bulb @ citrix no apparent reason?
update:
ok, did more searching , testing on question, , turns out they're lying mime-type (never trust any info send client, know).
i've checked bunch of files different encodings (created libjpeg)
official
mime type jpeg files: image/jpeg
but applications (most notably ms internet explores yahoo! mail) send jpeg files image/pjpeg
i thought knew pjpeg stood 'progressive' jpeg. turns out progressive/standard encoding has nothing it.
ms internet explorer send out all jpeg files pjpeg regardless of contents of file.
the same goes citrix: all jpeg files send citrix client reported image/x-citrix-pjpeg
mime type.
the files untouched (identical before , after upload). turns out difference in mime type indication software used send file?
why people invent new mime type if there no differences file contents?
