470641 - Browsing to a media url should display a pretty title.

Browsing to a media url should display a pretty title.

Browsing to a JPEG image displays window title as 
>>  filename.jpg (JPEG Image, 9999x9999 pixels) Scaled(11%)

example

Why cant we support a http header "x-title" ie something like
 
x-title: Some pretty title

which will display "Some pretty title" as window tile

Some media type like JPEG will allow title property so we could use that also.
This is becoming more important as we can now display *.ogg files.
Another candidate is *.pdf file, it also have a embedded title property. 
which we may be able access thru the pdf plugin

I didn't know about JPGs allowing to set a title. That's nice.

Adding also that SVGs already do this correctly, if the <title> tag is used. Otherwise, the full url is used (I'd argue that the filename would be a better choice, and also consistent with the way images are currently handled).
