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.
