Is there a detailed format for the MIME header format somewhere?

Question

I looked through probably 100 sites and found nothing. Some of them are only lists of values ​​of the mime type, other links to RFC or more or less direct quotes from them. RFCs are impervious, and each only discovers one small piece of elephant.

Is there anywhere that gives us a complete picture of the whole elephant (MIME heading), with all the parts attached in the appropriate places?

I am going to list the sites that have helped me a lot in this topic and hope that they can help you. I saved them in my notes over time:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME
• http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/mime-types-full
• http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1521
• http://www.hunnysoft.com/mime/
• http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2045
• http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2046
• http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047
• http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2048
• http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2049
• http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html

All this helped me in one way or another, and I saved them all, because they will probably need them in the future, I hope they help you as much as I do.

http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html This is the only link you need!

EDIT: answer in the comments

http://ietf.org/rfc all the text is there, but not very useful, because there are other things. So go to the index: http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc-index and ctrl + f for MIME. This causes 113 hits. Go through the name until you see what you are looking for, then enter the number and get the full text
