82930 - Show info on file before it downloaded.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Page Info, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Malx]

This is for Broser GUI and networking people.
It whould be great if I could click on link
and asked for INFO on it.
It will display (http-head or ftp etc) size,
last modified, ability of regeting, content/type,
charset, server ver etc.etc. Also error descriptions
if file not found or forbidden etc.

It must trace all HTTP redirections before displaing info.

// Have another idea, when this whould be done.

over to networking for consideration

Comment 2

These kinds of suggestions are better discussed in the UI newsgroup where a
proposed spec can be developed and then moved to the UI Design component for
review.  If it makes it that far then a bug should be filed on the
implementation component.  Adding mpt for input.

I don't think that technically there is much networking for this RFE, so lets
move it...

Bugs targeted at mozilla1.0 without the mozilla1.0 keyword moved to mozilla1.0.1 
(you can query for this string to delete spam or retrieve the list of bugs I've 
moved)

I don't think Page Info should show "future" possibilities as opposed to current actual "info". WONTFIX.
