Is there a name for the “mimetype patterns” that can be specified, for example, in an HTTP Accept header?
For example, I’m writing a function which will return a file encoded as a specific mimetype:
def get_encoded_file(original, mimetype):
... magic ...
But the mimetype can actually be a “mimetype pattern” like image/*… So calling it a “mimetype” seems wrong.
So, is there a formal name for “mimetype patterns” like, ex, image/*, or text/*?
Not sure this is official, but “mime type wildcards” seems to be used.
