Re: Content Sniffing impact on HTTPbis - #155

that code shows Chrome using the file extension to look up a content 
type from the windows registry, so it's clearly showing Chrome using the 
file extension to determine content type.  The fact that the DB of 
extension to type is provided by the OS, doesn't alter the fact that 
Chrome is using it.
