hi, this is a very useful script for me as i normally prefer viewing PDFs online, however some of the links do not work. e.g. this url: http://www.hardwarezone.com.my/priceguide/downl... i can view them if i copy paste with google viewer like this: http://docs.google.com/gview?url=<above>. maybe you can take a look at links like these in a future update? thanks</above> |

I think that it is difficult to convert the URL.

It would be technically possible to detect links to PDF files and other supported document types, even if they don't have .PDF (or whatever) in the URL. But this would require sending an XmlHttpRequest and checking the MIME type of the response for *every* link on the page. Hence, the overhead may degrade performance and may not be desirable. Alternatively, the request could be delayed until a user mouseover's a link and if the link is found to be a supported type, the link updated. |
