I updated the demo server with the tiff/tif extension as well as all the microsoft mime types from the post-2007 era as indicated here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsofficedeveloper/archive/2008/05/08/office-2007-open-xml-mime-types.aspx

MPEG-4 audio with extension .m4a is shown as application/octet-stream. file --mime shows it as audio/mp4. I found the RFC which states it as well.

HTML files at the welcome server are shown as application/octet-stream as well for me.
