Konqueror supports the MimeType and Plugin objects perfectly, but only
for Netscape plugins. The KDE file associations are not exposed, and I
think exposing them is a privacy violation issue (i.e. nobody should
know what programs I have installed).

For example:
<script language="JavaScript">
for (i=0; i < navigator.mimeTypes.length; i++)
        document.writeln(navigator.mimeTypes[i].type + "<br>");
</script>
