Hi All,

Is there any way to get the Content-Type for the document currently 
being presented? (text/plain, text/html, etc)

If not, perhaps this would be a useful addition, I've recently found 
myself using designMode and a series of bookmarklets to enable editing, 
and saving back to a webdav enabled source using PUT (again from a 
bookmarklet), and the only way I could see to find the content-type (so 
that one knows whether to grab the HTML, or textContent, or, and which 
content-type to PUT was to do a HEAD request via xhr, which isn't ideal 
considering the information could easily be exposed (I presume).

Best,

Nathan
