Description

I tried to get the org.apache.http.entity.ContentType from a string "application/octet-stream"

but the following code delivers null:

org.apache.http.entity.ContentType ctt = ContentType.getByMimeType("application/octet-stream");

But the reverse operation works as expected:

String str = ContentType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM.getMimeType();

delivers the string "application/octet-stream"

 

Any ideas why?
