The gnome & kde desktop seem to have icon information under /usr/share/icons.
For my dodgy web server, I used the following code to determine the
mime type, which was lazy, and probably you need the opposite
direction.
/* Let the mime type code be handled as a small method. */
/* Later could use /etc/mime.types */
::method getmimetype
file = self~file()
parse var file fname'.'ftype .
select
when ftype = 'html' then mtype = 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'
when ftype = 'xml' then mtype = 'text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1'
when ftype = 'css' then mtype = 'text/css; charset=iso-8859-1'
when ftype = 'png' then mtype = 'image/png'
when ftype = 'ico' then mtype = 'image/x-icon'
when ftype = 'jpg' then mtype = 'image/jpg'
otherwise mtype = 'application/octet-stream'
end
return mtype
