I think Alan mentioned it in an earlier mail, this is a legacy API and
not widely used. I can't say I've come across its use more than a
handful of times in more than 10 years.
If you have a small patch that resolves a particular issue then maybe we
should just proceed with getting it in.

Hi Alan,
Sorry for the late reply. This test case comes from a big test case,
which test more types of stream.
A test for this method should pass if "null" is returned as the method
does not specify the content types that it recognizes. I think it's
okay to extend it as you are proposing but I don't think anyone can
really rely on it. I'm happy to create an request-for-feature (RFE) in
the bug database for this and help you get it in if you want to pursue it.

Thanks Alan. I am so confused the hard-coding in that method. It shows
it can only detect the a small range of type. Should some comment add on
the spec, such as "can not be relied"?
