// mimeparse.js
//
// This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can
// handle matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section
// 14.1 of the HTTP specification [RFC 2616] for a complete explanation.
//
//   http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.1
//
// A port to JavaScript of Joe Gregorio's MIME-Type Parser:
//
//   http://code.google.com/p/mimeparse/
//
// Ported by J. Chris Anderson <jchris@apache.org>, targeting the Spidermonkey runtime.
//
// To run the tests, open mimeparse-js-test.html in a browser.
// Ported from version 0.1.2
// Comments are mostly excerpted from the original.
