Usage

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

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.
Parameters
None.

responds accordingly:

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
