It isn't scalable, but users can always use a router script to add
additional types so there isn't a real world problem in missing
uncommon extensions.

My idea was to add common extensions to the existing look-up list.  A
quick and straight-forward solution to making the CLI web-server
handle the 80-20 rule.

If someone (ajf?) wants to work on a more comprehensive solution
instead, I have no objection.
