File Extension to MIME Type Web Service?

Question

Are there any web services which will allow me to provide a file extension and it would return a list of possible MIME types?

For example:

http://mimetype.com/getMime/doc

Which could return:

application/msword,application/docappl/text,application/vnd.msword,application/vnd.ms-word,application/winword,application/word,application/x-msw6,application/x-msword

I don't want to use Urlmon.dll and I would prefer not having to keep my own list up-to-date.

Thanks

Answer 1

The only thing that comes to mind is to parse output from http://www.file-extensions.org/

Answer 2

The only thing I could imagine would be parsing the list which comes with the apache server mime.types. The list is maintained by The Apache Software Foundation and depends on www.iana.org
