The cache class is an in house class that I can't really mess with. It 
holds a lot of other types of data besides images and we want it to stay 
as generic as possible.

Unless I am confused, the mime type isn't a property of the file it is a 
property of the data. So I don't see why all of the mime type functions 
and classes that I have found only work on files.
