The Mime type is set using HttpResponse's setContentType() method. Please see the list of Mime types here, in the Media type and subtype(s) field of the table: http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/mime-types-full

Returns:

The Mime type of the content (for example, text/html)

isOverwriteable

boolean isOverwriteable()

True if the content in the WebExporter for this object should be overwritten; false if the original content should be kept
