## Constructors

ContentType(String primaryType, String subType, {String? charset, Map<String, String?> parameters = const {}})
  Creates a new content type object setting the primary type and sub type. The charset and additional parameters can also be set using `charset` and `parameters`. If charset is passed and `parameters` contains charset as well the passed `charset` will override the value in parameters. Keys passed in parameters will be converted to lower case. The `charset` entry, whether passed as `charset` or in `parameters`, will have its value converted to lower-case.
