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.
