Easy way to find out Mime Type details

How to know about the different Mime Types details.

Whenever we start writing code inside servlet very often we come across some general setting like…

PrintWriter pw=response.getWriter();

and

response.setContentType("text/html");

if we specifically talk about setContentType(-), this method indicates, In what kind of format ,data should be printed on browser by default it prints in html format.

But the Question is how can we know what all mime types are there and how do we gather it.

By seeing java notes or by googling it .....Ofcourse, But its lengthy process!!!
