MIME Application/x-gzip

Mime application/x-gzip is often used when a gzip file is present. As a non-standard mime type, mime application/x-gzip has many variations. In fact, there is not an officially registered mime type for the GZip file format.

Though not registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, many Web browsers, email applications, Web servers, and other mime-dependent applications can recognize files labeled with mime application/x-gzip as compressed GZip files. GZip files are archives containing compressed files.

For example, digital photos are often too large to send via email. Using a utility to compress the photos into smaller sizes can overcome this problem. The photos are compressed and placed into an archive. Just about any file type can be compressed and placed into a GZip archive. This allows the user to send a single smaller attachment containing not just one compressed file, but many. When a computer encounters mime application/x-gzip, it should recognize that the file is a GZip file.

Once the computer recognizes mime application/x-gzip, it can then call up a compatible application, if installed, for unzipping the compressed archive and displaying its contents. The contents within the GZip archive will be individual files, each with their own mime types and file extensions.
