Review request for kdelibs.


Description
-------

KIO::mimetype() when used on webdav:// url returned empty string on some servers, empty string on others. After some investigating I found out that mime-type is determined like for usual http:// links - i.e. making HEAD requests.
But this is problematic - some servers do not return content type for webdav links (for example this behavior occurred on webdavs://webdav.yandex.ru). Even if server returns content-type it can be wrong - for directories HEAD request return text/xml (that happens because webdav directories are simply xml listings).
I tried to fix this by essentially calling stat on webdav url and emitting mimetype when it's found.

Testing

Tested this on two webdav servers (webdavs://webdav.yandex.ru and webdavs://dav.2safe.com).


Thanks,
