What's the preferred mime type for binary avro and json formatted avro files that I should use in an app?
For example "application/avro+binary", "application/avro+json"?

Thanks,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang!

The current avro spec mentions that when HTTP is being used as a transport
for an Avro-defined protocol that the content type 'avro/binary' should be
used.[1] There's an open issue[2] about this not being a valid content
type, though there hasn't been movement in a while.

AFAICT, this means there isn't a general best practice at the moment. I
have some ideas on the matter, perhaps we could discuss this on the dev
list and then update the relevant jira?
