netMIME()

Syntax

    netMIME()

Description

Function; provides the MIME type of the Internet file that the last network operation returned (the most recently downloaded HTTP or FTP item).

The`netMIME` function can be called only after `netDone` and `netError` report that the operation is complete and successful. After the next operation starts, the Director movie or projector discards the results of the previous operation to conserve memory.

Example

This handler checks the MIME type of an item downloaded from the Internet and responds accordingly:

    on checkNetOperation theURL
    	if netDone (theURL) then
    		set myMimeType = netMIME()
    		case myMimeType of
    			"image/jpeg": go frame "jpeg info"
    			"image/gif": go frame "gif info"
    			"application/x-director": goToNetMovie theURL
    			"text/html": goToNetPage theURL
    			otherwise: alert "Please choose a different item."
    		end case
    	else
    		go the frame
    	end if
    end
