17: This interface provides functionality for guessing unknown media types from
18: magic words. The stream is a one that reads first a chunk of stuff, tries
19: to figure out the format, and calls <CODE>HTStreamStack()</CODE>. This is
20: a kind of lazy-evaluation of <CODE>HTStreamStack()</CODE>.
21: <P>
22: This could be extended arbitrarily to recognize all the possible file formats
23: in the world, if someone only had time to do it.

25: This module is implemented by <A HREF="HTGuess.c">HTGuess.c</A>, and it is
