The Internet has a special organization IANA to confirm the standard MIME type, but the internet is growing too fast, and many applications can't wait for the IANA to confirm that they use the MIME type as the standard type. So they use a method that begins with X in the category to identify that the category has not yet become a standard, such as X-gzip,x-tar. In fact, these types are widely used and have become the standard of fact. As long as both the client and the server recognize this MIME type, even if it is not a standard type, the client program can handle the data according to the MIME type using specific processing methods.
