I don't see a problem with this proposal but I just wonder if this
method is even used these days. It is a legacy method and I don't think
anyone can rely on it to reliably detect any content type. I'm curious
how you ran into this, was it a test or custom protocol handler that
overrides getContentType and uses guessContentTypeFromStream as a fallback?
