Hello,
In order that programs which access the test result data understand all the files produced by the test, we want to include a media type (also commonly called a MIME type or Content-type) for the .har file itself. Relying on the extension and/or content sniffing is error-prone and would leave us with application/octet-stream as the best media type for har files.
(Note I'm not talking about the field inside the .har file which references the Content-type of one of the captured HTTP requests.)
I don't see anything in your pending RFC [1] nor the current media type registry [2]. Has there been any proposal for registering a media type for HAR files?
If not, I intend to create an RFC registering .har along with other test result file types, and I'd like to work with the community on that.
Thanks!
