if you want the "correct" but uncommon and usually unsupported
content-type of text/x-wiki; or

if you want the "hacky" but more useful text/css which makes it
display as plain text in browsers.
Speaking of which (don't want to start a new thread for this), is there
any way to retrieve only the status of a page? Meaning, "0" if it
doesn't exist, "1" if it does or an URL if it's a redirect -- I guess
that would be the logical way to do it. I think it would be nice to have
for automated quick searches.
