如何确定由远程服务器托管的文件的mime类型？

Question

I am trying to determine the MIME type that my web host uses when a request is made for a particular file hosted on his server.

Suppose I have a url:

https://www.mysitename.com/myfile.myextension

And I am trying to determine the MIME type my web host uses for ".myextension" files, how can I do so?

I figure there must be some way I can make an HTTP request for the file, and as a result there would be some headers, one of which should specify the MIME type of the file.

How can I do this? Can I use terminal on OSX or Ubuntu or something ? I'm looking for commands to execute from the terminal to determine the MIME type according to the remote server of my file.

EDIT: Forgot to mention - the url is HTTPS. EDIT: I cannot log into the terminal on the remote server - I can only log into my terminal on my local machine.

Answer 1

There is a command called mimetype which gives mimetypes information. You can give it a try.
