[issue32021] Brotli encoding is not recognized by mimetypes

[R. David Murray]

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

Hmm. OK, the docs do say that value should be usable as a content-encoding header.

However, absent any sort of program that actually does brotli encoding/decoding to and from files, this would be essentially useless based on the aiohttp's algorithm (or any other use I can think of for the mimetimes module in this context).  Does such a program exist?  I didn't find one searching the web.
