Hi,

I have an issue with some content types which don't always return an extension. My example is "video/mp4", which has no extension although the RFC (RFC4337) lists both "mp4" and "mpg4" as registered extensions.
My use case is: I download an attachment with an "obscured" URL (like "test.com/videos/sha1"), and I use a mime-type to help build a file name.
I don't know if all mime-types are supposed to have 1+ extension (ex: H264), but there are some which obviously miss an extension (at least, that's what I understand). If intentional, should I work with the mime-type's sub_type to choose a file extension is the library doens't provide an extension?

Thanks,
Florent.

Not all MIME types have an extension because of a lack of information. Contributions to fix this matter are always welcome. Per RFC4337, I will be pushing 1.17 soon that adds .mp4 and .mpg4 for application/mp4, audio/mp4, and video/mp4.
