Re: Firefox 2.0.0.5 handling of binary files

Thanks, Chris - that worked, using a capital 'I'.
It returned loads of information again, and as the entire operation
was to try to find out what MIME type the server was launching.
Although Sander said it would be on the line that says "Content-
Type:", there isn't a line with that, but there are two lines which
say:
--data-ascii <data> HTTP POST ASCII data (H)
--data-binary <data> HTTP POST binary data (H)

No, that's still help text from curl. If I type in:

curl -I "http://www.apple.com/";

It prints out:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Age: 458
X-Cache-TTL: 142
Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 20:28:54 GMT
Content-Length: 9866
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Expires: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 20:38:54 GMT
Cache-Control: max-age=600
Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) PHP/5.2.1
X-Cached-Time: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 20:31:00 GMT

That tells me that the document that would be returned has a content type of "text/html", and the characters in it are written using UTF-8.

Cheers,

Chris
