Isn't there a reason why you can't use the fileinfo extension/code for this instead? Hardcoding it seems rather strange?

I looked at the manual and mime_content_type() is deprecated and tells me to use the Fileinfo PECL extension. From which I am led back to the parent section, which is for the built-in Fileinfo extension. Looks like the manual is out-of-date. Anyhow, looks like finfo_file() works as we'd want, though I feel uneasy about guessing filetypes this way. Perhaps we should have several explicitly specified ones (.txt as text/plain, .html as text/html, etc.), and guess the rest? Especially for ones which it would not correctly guess.
