MIME Application/octet_stream

The mime application/octet_stream media type is used when a file is primarily a binary file or is ambiguous. Note that ambiguous has a different meaning than “unknown.”

When a file is created or a code written, the creator likely knows exactly what that file is. However, he may still opt to use the mime application/octet_stream media type to classify the file. For example, a file type may have many different ways of being handled, opened, or rendered.

By assigning mime application/octet_stream, the creator is not specifying a particular program or procedure for the file. In this case, the user, program, or Web browser will need to determine the best course of action for handling the mime application/octet_stream content. This may involve looking at the file extension to get a better idea of what it may be.

The first part of this particular MIME type provides you with the first clue: application. However the application description is also fairly vague. The file labeled mime application/octet_stream is classified under the primary MIME type of application, yet it’s not necessarily an application file. Rather, it’s related to an application. It could be a document, data file, system file, program file, executable file, and so on.
