How to know the MIME type of a file?

[rahuljaiswal1987]

Hi,

I want to embed a 3rd party video player into my web page. this video player is in exe form. For that i need the MIME type of this exe. The format of MIME for exe is application/octet-stream. But i don't know the octet and stream for this exe. Is there any way to know the MIME for an exe file? Please suggest something ASAP.

Regards,
rAHUL

I don’t see the problem. the MIME type of VideoAgent.exe is application/octet-stream.
