It does in fact know the url. The mime-type is received from the server.

There's a fallback: if the above doesn't work, bonobo_widget_new_control()
is used to get a component for the file (which means that gnome-vfs determines
the "real" mime type from the file name and returns an instance of the
default viewer component for that mime-type).
