Yeah, seems like it...

Well, I started looking into how much effort would it be to translate the 
strings returned by libmagic(3)'s routines into Content-Type.

If it is easy enough, I could hack cron to analyze the job's output using 
magic_buffer(3) and set Content-Type if anything recognizable is detected...

The translation is the difficult part :-( Instead of the standardized

	text/html

for example, libmagic returns:

	HTML document text

It is trying to be human-readable, while I need the machine-readable strings.

There is stuff on-line that does the translation, but it is in much 
higher-level languages (like PHP), which think, hash-tables are free :-)

Oh, well...
