### Class

# Soup ContentSniffer

#### Description [src]

    final class Soup.ContentSniffer : GObject.Object {
      /* No available fields */
    }

Sniffs the mime type of messages.

A `SoupContentSniffer` tries to detect the actual content type of the files that are being downloaded by looking at some of the data before the `SoupMessage` emits its `SoupMessage::got-headers` signal. `SoupContentSniffer` implements `SoupSessionFeature`, so you can add content sniffing to a session with `soup_session_add_feature()` or `soup_session_add_feature_by_type()`.
