Mozilla/Galeon MIME Types

On Wed, Apr 10, 2002 at 04:31:29PM -0400, I asked:

And two useful responses came back saying to telnet to the webserver
and ask for the head of the document I want to request.  Well, I think
that is real cool (I sometime telnet to pop servers to really see what
is going on), but in my first try it doesn't quite work.

Here is the first stream I tried to get the MIME on
<http://live.charm.net:8000/wjhu/listen.pls>.  

This is my attempt to follow the telnet suggestions:

  $ telnet live.charm.net 8000
  Trying 206.41.198.76...
  Connected to live.charm.net (206.41.198.76).
  Escape character is '^]'.
  head /wjhu/listen.pls             <- I hit two cr's here, they 
  head /wjhu/listen.pls                echoed the line the extra 
                                       time  

  HTTP/1.0 306 Grow up
  Server: icecast/1.3.11
  Connection: close
  Content-Type: text/html

  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
  <html>
    <head>
      <title>306 Request all messed up</title>
    </head>

    <body>
      <h1>306 Request all messed up</h1>
      The request your application sent to the server makes
      no more sense than... well.. women with clothes on :)<br>
      <hr>
    </body>
  </html>
  Connection closed by foreign host.
  $

Suggestions?

Thanks,
