Such as /etc/mime.types? :)
(IE and Safari have the exceptionally bad practice of guessing
content-type based on the data they receive. This works out well for
those times servers send the wrong Content-Type, but falls down horribly
when the browser guesses the wrong Content-Type, because there's nothing
the author can do to correct the guess.)
