Re: What is CONTENT?

[Barron Housel <housel@cisco.com>]

By "typed" I simply meant the type of the content via the "content-type" http
header: txt/html, jpeg, gif, mpeg, etc.  The type is necessary to tell the CDN
surrogate how to deliver the data stream -- e.g., real time streaming
audio/video or file transfer.
