[issue32021] Brotli encoding is not recognized by mimetypes

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

OK, so there are "real" filenames that have .br on the end?  That wasn't clear from the RFC and discussions I found.  Based on the documentation, br is for use in the Content-Encoding header.

What does aiohttp do when it gets a brotli encoded file?  What does it do with the other types in the http content-encoding table? (https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-parameters/http-parameters.xhtml#content-coding)

Where is the standard that talks about the '.br' file extension?
