Description

Encapsulates the notion of a mime type. Can be used at render time, for example, with: 

  class PostsController < ActionController::Base
    def show
      @post = Post.find(params[:id])

      respond_to do |format|
        format.html
        format.ics { render :text => post.to_ics, :mime_type => Mime::Type["text/calendar"]  }
        format.xml { render :xml => @people.to_xml }
      end
    end
  end
