Hi, I'd like to know if there's a simple, fast and easy way to find
out the size and type of files referenced by URL anchors in a
document. 

Can someone tell me why the Object meta-information in response
headers have been made optional? I would have thought this should be
mandatory. 

The reason I ask all this, is that I'd like to suggest a modification
to the UI of X-Mosaic and I'd like to find out if it is feasible at
all.
