A module provides basic functions for parsing mime-type names and matching them
against a list of media-ranges.

This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can handle
matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of the HTTP
specification [RFC 2616] for a complete explanation:

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1

Contents:

 * parse_mime_type(): Parses a mime-type into its component parts.
 * parse_media_range(): Media-ranges are mime-types with wild-cards and a "q"
   quality parameter.
 * quality(): Determines the quality ("q") of a mime-type when compared against
   a list of media-ranges.
 * quality_parsed(): Just like quality() except the second parameter must be
   pre-parsed.
 * best_match(): Choose the mime-type with the highest quality ("q") from a list
   of candidates.
