Mime-type for XLIFF
Ad
Hallo all I would like to confirm the correct MIME type to use when serving XLIFF files over the web. I have seen some references to application/xliff+xml but couldn't quickly find something that looks authoritative. Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks Friedel

Can > anybody shed some light on this?I'm not sure there exists an authoritative source for this yet. I can't find any discussion on this in the XLIFF TC-list archives regarding definition or registration of a mime-type for XLIFF, and it's certainly not in the XLIFF specification. This is perhaps something we should consider going forward? (cc'ing the XLIFF TC). Unless (and until) the mime type is registered with IANA [1], it should probably be written as "application/x-xliff+xml".
