Correct, the parameter was never used. The same goes for the methods I removed.

We can add them back if we have an actual use for them, but until that
I think we're better off without them.

Currently we only have the following method in MimeUtils:

    String getType(String typeName, String url, byte[] data)

Since we already have the data array available, we might just as well
always do the MIME magic checks. If we want to support non-magic
checks, then we should add another signature for that:

    String getType(String typeName, String url)
