There are 10 main media types defined [1]:

• application
• audio
• font
• example
• image
• message
• model
• multipart
• text
• video

For the ones you don't identify, application/octet-stream is a good default (i.e. binary) [2]. 

There are 3 levels of heuristic you can apply:

(1) last path segment extension
(2) response content type
(3) content signature [3]

Ideally, they should all align. If not, perhaps worthwhile flagging them to the user for discrepancies, to exercise caution. This would also help keeping servers on their toes.
