I'm currently working on a Freenet IOSlave.

I have read as much code as possible within kdelibs/kio and various 
other IOSlaves, spent countless hours only to be frustrated with a 
messagebox "Could not create IOSlave", and the following in my debug 
file.

kio (KRun): INIT called
kio (KRun): ###### KRun::scanFile 
freenet:CHK@vwoFWwVQWYxWc4a~pMmy1kPlS7cKAwI,7geKJ2A-VyoE6LQrr3japA
kio (KRun): 0x8390778 Scanning file 
freenet:CHK@vwoFWwVQWYxWc4a~pMmy1kPlS7cKAwI,7geKJ2A-VyoE6LQrr3japA
kio (KRun): 0x8390778 KRun returning from showErrorDialog, starting 
timer to delete us
kio (KRun): 0x8390778 slotTimeout called
kio (KRun): KRun::~KRun() 0x8390778
kio (KRun): KRun::~KRun() done 0x8390778

The problem is this: Freenet documents have mimetypes, but I do *NOT* 
want to predict any mimetypes; I want to emit the mimetype from within 
the get() method as soon as it's known, no sooner.

Also, some keys in Freenet have the format:
  freenet:SSK@npfV5XQijFkF6sXZvuO0o~kG4wEPAgM/homepage//

Which totally befuddles the process since something automatically 
assumes it's a directory listing due to the double trailing forward 
slashes in the URL.  This URL is no different from a normal document 
URL (as far as freenet is concerned).

I want to handle that case the same as the above; get some data in 
get(), then emit the mimetype along with the data.

Any advice of any kind is appreciated; I'm losing too much hair over 
this.

Thank you..
