Is there a resource that lists ALL the mimeTypes in existence?
I have found a few places with under 1000 mimeTypes, but then they still don't include common ones like .rar, .fla, .rb, .docx!
Does anyone have a COMPLETE list of mimetypes? Not down to the most obsure "company-only" ones, but at least all of the ones we might use.
Also, I'm looking for a list that maps file extensions to mimeTypes.

A MIME type consists of two parts: a type and a subtype. Currently, there are ten registered types: application, audio, example, font, image, message, model, multipart, text, and video.
There are too many issues with MIME types on different operating systems, different applications saving files differently, some files not having a MIME at all, and lastly, the fact that the extension and MIME could be altered by a malicious user or program.
A media type (also known as a MIME type) is a two-part identifier for file formats and format contents transmitted on the Internet. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is the official authority for the standardization and publication of these classifications.
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/ lists the "official" mime-types, but it doesn't prevent anyone making their own an not registering it with IANA.
