While working on kcertpart, I have noticed a problem with mimetypes and 
kparts.  Now perhaps there is a way around it, but I have yet to find it.  It 
goes like this:

On a webpage in konqueror, I click on a file that is 
application/x-x509-ca-cert.  Konqueror loads my part correctly, but it seems 
to save the file to a different filename so that when I try to get the 
mimetype of the filename, it returns application/octet-stream.  This works 
fine if I use konqueror in file browsing mode though.  There is no mime magic 
for this filetype so I have to depend on the filename.


One other thing:  Is it possible for us to try to guess at text/plain files 
we get via web pages (or other)?  I have seen a site that has text/plain for 
a .pem file.  This makes it hard for us to shuffle that file over to the 
proper handler.  I tihnk I can make a somewhat reliable .pem magic entry, but 
I still fear that it will interfere with saved email files or other files 
that include PEM encodings.
