I happen to not be a wget user - for ftp sites, I use an ftp client to download; for http sites, I tend to use Mozilla. [ And if I am interacting with Mozilla, why should I go off and open another application to look at the same thing ? ] The reason for my question is that when a page is being displayed by Mozilla, View -> Page Info will give the Mime-Type of that page (plus other information). Also (if prefs.js doesn't override it) when I click on an URL for something other than what Mozilla handles internally, Mozilla will show me the Mime-Type when asking me what to do with the data pointed to by that URL (e.g., store on disk?). What I was asking: Is there any way, WITHOUT actually initiating a download, to get Mozilla to display the Mime-Type of the data being pointed to by a selected URL (for instance, if I were to RMB on that URL and then were to choose from among the displayed menu entries) ? mikus
