Accept: text/plain;
q=0.5, text/html, text/x-dvi;
q=0.8, text/x-c
If sent in an HTTP request for a resource /fred the above Accept
headers tells the server that the user will ideally accept /fred as an
HTML document or a text/x-c document.
I do not understand.
Am I right in formatting the statement such that semi-colons have a
higher precedence than commas?
And that a grouping is between semi-colons?
If that is the case, then the above sequency looks to me to favor
* text/x-c as the highest priority;
* text/html, text/x-dvi both equally as the second priorty; and,
* text/plain as the third, lowest priority.
But I do not know anything about this and would like to be told more.
An alternative formatting is that semi-colons precede q settings, and
that if a format lacks a q setting, it has the highest priority.
Thus, the above could be formatted like this
Accept: text/plain; q=0.5,
text/html, text/x-dvi; q=0.8,
text/x-c
and mean the same as
Accept: text/plain ; q=0.5,
text/html, text/x-dvi; q=0.8,
text/x-c ; q=1.0
Is this the case?
Thank you.
