Ah, ok. Yeah, that's because I didn't notice that the KDE class I was using 
doesn't return a mimetype for http urls. I just fixed that.

Possibly. The way the framework is right now, I could add an generic

fit. Once you have your script ready, I could shoehorn that in there, I 
guess. That's be rather neat.
