Just to followup -- I have implemented an Asyc Plug Protocol handler
for "http" which is just a passthru right now. Question is - is there
any way to obtain the MIME-Type from within the Start() method?

Of course not. Start is called before a single byte is sent to the
server, let alone getting any back. You need to wait until HTTP response
arrives, hopefully with Content-Type header.

You need to wait until
IInternetProtocolSink::ReportProgress(BINDSTATUS_MIMETYPEAVAILABLE) is
called on you.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Hi Igor - the way I read the MSDN documentation, IInternetProtocolSink
methods are not going to be called on my class unless I register it as
a MIME filter, not an APP. I have implemented IInternetProtocolSink,
and nothing is being called. It also doesn't do me any good to hold
onto the IInternetProtocolSink pointer passed to Start(), since I have
no way to see calls made to it...

Am I missing something here?
