Java(TM) Plug-in: Version 1.4.0
Using JRE version 1.4.0-beta3 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM

Writing an applet to retrieve gif, jpeg ,png files from a server.
Both IE 5.5 and Mozilla 0.9.5 when both are using 1.4 beta 3

e.g.
URL url = new URL("http://server/picture1.gif");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
String type = connection.getContentType();

Expecting "image/gif" but instead get null for the content type.
No getContent... methods work, e.g getContentLength() doesn't work.

This worked in previous versions of the JRE

Release Regression From : 1.3.1
The above release value was the last known release where this
bug was knwon to work. Since then there has been a regression.
