Well.... partly right.
On the server side, the file name extesion is used to determine which
"content/type" identifier to send to the browser.(client)
On the client side, the "content/type" is used to determine what to do
with the file.
That's why in mime.cfg each file downloaded from the web is given a line
such as this:
[MIME]
image/jpeg JPG>BMP|$edjpeg32.exe $j $1 $2
image/png PNG>BMP|$epng2bmp.exe -s -o $2 $1
image/x-png PNG>BMP|$epng2bmp.exe -s -o $2 $1
(^^^^^^^^^^)

(content/type sent by server)
