Just wanna say thank you so much for this
If anybody is passing by, you can use
mime.TypeByExtension(filepath.Ext(filename))instead of http.DetectContentType(byteSlice).
You'll likely have better results as the http function supports less MIME types.
Be aware, though, that the first function (from package mime) uses the file extension, which means that it can be tricked easily.
On the other hand, it seems that some file types have the same beginning bytes which will confuse the http function (.docx, .xls, etc apparently are mistaken for .zip, iirc).
Double check the last info but that should give you a good starting point to fix some of the issues people seemed to encounter in the comments above.
