回答1:
A MIME type is used so software ( like a browser for example ) can know how to handle the data.
If a server says "This data is of type text/csv" the client can understand that can render that data internally, while if the server says "This data is of type application/csv" the client knows that it needs to launch the application that is registered on the OS to open csv files.
text/csv is more generic.
回答2:
text/csv is more appropriate because application as a first part implies some interactivity. Your text file not being interactive, it should be announced as text.
