Is there a place where I can find a list of MIME types with their more common names, so I can set up a little lookup table? Something that links them together like application/pdf = PDF, application/ msword = MS Word, text/html = HTML. These particular ones are obvious, of course, but I have a CGI that allows uploads to my server for a client. Part of the CGI provides a list of available documents, along with their file type. I'd like to provide the common name instead of the actual MIME content type.

Hmm.. you might get some info out of /etc/httpd/magic ?

otherwise, google I suppose:

http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=mime +type&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

trouble is, finding x- mime types is pretty hard; nigh impossible.

For example, I tried to find lists of mime types that included application/x-httpd-php-source and came up empty unless I specifically added that mime type to my google search.
