I remembered seeing someway of displaying the headers within Mozilla. My first thought was that it was something on mozdev.org, but, as I looked, I remembered it was a bookmarklet. So, off to Google for a quick search, which after a few clicks lead me to: http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/validation.html#http_headers This is a bit of Javascript which will display the headers for the current page. But, it's only an interface to http://webtools.mozilla.org/web-sniffer/ where you can enter a URL and get the details displayed. Another search for sites with Ogg files, and I saw either "Content-Type: text/plain" or "Content-Type: application/x-ogg". I'm not sure if this is any better than running wget, but, it is an alternative. -- David Forrester davidfor at internode dot on dot net http://www.os2world.com/djfos2
