Re: [gentoo-user] Re: OT: Firefox - saved or not ot be saved...
Hartmut Figge h.fi...@gmx.de [11-06-13 07:32]: meino.cra...@gmx.de: there is one feature of forefox, which bugs me: On the same site (www.blenderswap.com) I click to files to download. One is a *.blend, the other one is a *.rar. When I click the *.blend, the file gets downloaded and stored on my hd at once - bad! When I click the *.rar, the file gets NOT downloaded at once and instead I am offered a dialog, which asks what to do. I looked into Preferences-Application, which lists filetypes and the according action and DONT find an entry for *.blend files. What happens depends on the Content-Type with which the server delivers the file. Here is an example. http://www.triffids.de/pub/blend/ Both files are identical text files, but hm.blend1 comes with text/plain and hm.blend2 comes with text/hafi. The last is unknown *g*, so it will be asked what to do. text/plain is well known and the browser will display its content. Where can I change the action selected by Firefox which gets executed for a certain filetype else? Look at the Content-Type of your *.blend. One way to do this is with HEAD which is part of libwww-perl. hafi@i5 ~ $ HEAD http://www.triffids.de/pub/blend/hm.blend2 200 OK Connection: close Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:21:15 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: 942355-b-4a590cf7e03b1 Server: Apache Content-Length: 11 Content-Type: text/hafi Last-Modified: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:01:21 GMT Client-Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:21:15 GMT Client-Peer: 85.13.136.212:80 Client-Response-Num: 1 Hartmut -- Usenet-ABC-Wiki http://www.usenet-abc.de/wiki/ Von Usern fuer User :-) Hi Hartmut, Oh, yeah!

Look at the Content-Type of your *.blend. One way to do this is with HEAD which is part of libwww-perl. Easier to just use 'wget -S url' if you dont have libwww-perl installed.
