Files are saved according to their MIME type 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_type>, if you don't like to have 
the MIME type instead of extension - just tick *Don't add content type 
suffix* box in the Save Responses to a file 
<https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#Save_Responses_to_a_file> 
listener, then you will be able to set your own extension instead.
