Content type changing?

[Dave Townsend]

I'm just learning about coding xpcom components by writing an extension 
for firefox. What I am trying to do is either make the browser display 
plain text documents as if they had the content type of html since I 
regularly come across web pages that have the incorrect content type. 
Obviously there will have to be some restrictions etc, but for now I 
just want it to work for all text documents.

So I have my component registered and observing http-on-examine-response 
and I can dump a message for any retrieved plain text document. I can 
also set the contentType on the channel to text/html, but it appears to 
make no difference to how the browser displays the document.

Am I going about this the wrong way, how should I go about it?
