Remarks

This method will return the MIME type used with the common file extension extension. For example, ".jpg" or ".jpeg" commonly associated with JPEG raster image files will return the standard "image/jpeg" MIME type, ".pdf" commonly associated with Adobe PDF files will return the standard "application/pdf" MIME type and so forth.

If the extension value is not associated with a known MIME type or is not one of the formats supported by LEADTOOLS, then the general "application/octet-stream" is returned.
