Hi. I'm writing my first app based on libwww, it aims to do something similar to webbot but I'm facing a problem that I can't solve because of my limited knowledge of the libwww architecture. When a web site is scanned recursively using anchors and requests all the files are downloaded including binary files. For these save file name is prompted to the user (my app and webbot behave in the same manner), but I don't want binary files to be downloaded at all. If I define the following callback user is not prompted anymore but file is transferred from network to the black hole thus generating unuseful traffic: HTMIME_setSaveStream(HTBlackHoleConverter); So my question is, can I detect the content type of a file (presumably letting libwww read just a part of it) and then decide not to download it?How? Thanks! Silvan -- mambaSoft di Silvan Calarco - http://www.mambasoft.it
