 The Road to XHTML 2.0: MIME Types
Subject: Testing for MIME type
Date: 2003-03-21 06:54:20
From: Mark Pilgrim
Response to: Doubt

As stated in the article, you can use the "verbose" option of the W3C validator to see the MIME type your web server is sending with your page. The MIME type can not be faked with META tags; it must be sent in the "Content-type" HTTP header by your web server, before it sends the content of your page. There are a number of ways of setting this up, but META tags are not one of them.
