WHATWG MIME Type Parsing
Parse Content-Type using the WHATWG MIME algorithm. Return normalized type/subtype, essence, ordered parameters and serialized header. Forgiving browser parsing keeps the first duplicate and skips malformed parameters; not strict RFC validation, IANA checking, content sniffing or authentication. Limit 4096 UTF-8 input/output bytes and 32 retained parameters. Refuse unparseable essence or excess bounds before payment. No network or filesystem I/O.

How to buy with x402
- Send the request without payment. The server answers
402 Payment Requiredwith a base64 JSONPAYMENT-REQUIREDheader holding the amount, asset, network and payee. - Have your wallet sign an EIP-3009
transferWithAuthorizationfor exactly those terms (an x402 client library does this for you). - Repeat the identical request with the signed payload in the
PAYMENT-SIGNATUREheader. - The server verifies, runs the operation, settles, and returns
200with the result and aPAYMENT-RESPONSEheader carrying the settlement receipt.
Read the price without paying
curl --include --request POST --header 'accept: application/json' --header 'content-type: application/json' --data-raw '{"mediaType":"Text/HTML; Charset=\"UTF-8\"; charset=gbk; boundary=\"a;b\""}' --url 'https://market.561.group/v1/data/mime-type-parse'
This request authorizes nothing; it returns the live payment terms. Read the full explanation of x402.
