Hi, normally a HTTP request performs a GET to receive the entire page. however you can also do a HEAD which requests just the head information, which often includes the mime-type, whereas the body is not transfered at all. I once did HTTP with the Socket class; I trust you can do it with HttpRequest too. :)
