HI everyone,

I'm trying to test a .wmv file, but it's not launching the plugin and
I'd like to check and see what mime setting it's getting from the
webserver. I have added the mime info, but since the text is just
loading in the browser instead of sending it to Windows Media Player
I'd like to see what it's using.

I know I can telnet to port 80 on the web server, but where do I tell
it the full URL instead of just domain name? So instead of
www.mysite.com I need www.mysite.com/test.wmv.

Thanks --

Sam

OR

perl -MLWP::UserAgent -e '$ua=LWP::UserAgent->new()
$res=$ua->head("http://www.mysite.com/test.wmv");print $res->as_string .
"\n";'

If you're on a shared server, this alone will probably not be enough.

HEAD /test.wmv HTTP/1.0¬
Host: site.com¬

where ¬ represents a line break -- that last blank line is essential.
