I've been looking at fm_directory_view_handle_netscape_url_drop function, I
think we just have to do a fast,blind link to whatever url the user is
dropping in the Desktop, not attending at its mimetype (have to access
internet to fetch it) nor its extension (there are too many extensions to
take care e.g. php,asp,) and there are also pages with no extension (like
digg.com)..

We could make that if SHIFT is pressed when dropping then we ask the user if
it wants to download it instead.

What do you think?
