Chris A. Mattmann resolved TIKA-538.
------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem
      Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann

It kind of seems like this functionality is already possible. See the MimeType.java class and its method:

{code:java}
    public String getExtension() {
        return extension;
    }
{code}

Seems like you can get the extension for a particular MimeType that is detected, correct? If not, please file a new issue and be a little more specific as the functionality you are talking about and what's missing. Thanks!

> Mapping between the mimetype and file extension is being done. Mimetypes (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tika/trunk/tika-core/src/main/resources/org/apache/tika/mime/tika-mimetypes.xml)
> It would be an improvement to get the file extension from the detected mime type. Example detected "audio/mpeg", file extension "mp3"
> In short, make url pattern/ file extension public
> (when working with blobs)
