Convert Content-Type header into file extension

Image
5 1 So what I am trying to do is convert a HEADER requests content-type into a file extension. The typical content-type is like this for html pages "text/html; charset=utf-8" that is the given response from python. I have looked into using the mimetype module with no success as it doesn't look like it accommodates what I am looking for. Rundown: I want to convert "text/html; charset=utf-8" into this ".html" The typical image content-type is "image/jpeg" depending on the image type, but I am not too worried about images, given that most urls specify the image in the path. This is more for websites that don't end in "blahahah.html" I do not want to use any libraries that are not in the base python library.
