you can see part of this in the trace file - the headers include a line "Accept:" which tells the server what lynx accepts. After that, in the trace file it refers to building a stream stack, which is complicated to explain :-( When it retrieves the data, there's another header which shows "Content-Type:", whose value corresponds to one of the mime-types. -- Thomas E.
