Solution 1 - Ios

.zip    application/zip, application/octet-stream

Solution 2 - Ios

The standard MIME type for ZIP files is application/zip. The types for the files inside the ZIP does not matter for the MIME type.

As always, it ultimately depends on your server setup.

Solution 3 - Ios

[request setValue:@"application/zip" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];

Solution 4 - Ios

If you want the MIME type for a file, you can use the following code:

- (NSString *)mimeTypeForPath:(NSString *)path
{
    // get a mime type for an extension using MobileCoreServices.framework

    CFStringRef extension = (__bridge CFStringRef)[path pathExtension];
    CFStringRef UTI = UTTypeCreatePreferredIdentifierForTag(kUTTagClassFilenameExtension, extension, NULL);
    assert(UTI != NULL);

    NSString *mimetype = CFBridgingRelease(UTTypeCopyPreferredTagWithClass(UTI, kUTTagClassMIMEType));
    assert(mimetype != NULL);

    CFRelease(UTI);

    return mimetype;
}

In the case of a ZIP file, this will return application/zip.
