And kio_http sends :

Accept: image/x-ico image/gif image/x-xpm image/x-krl image/x-bmp image/x-eps image/png image/tiff image/jpeg image/x-pnm image/fax-g3 image/x-xbm

No it is not.  If it is missing it means we accept everything.  But of course there
are broken servers out there ; so we should simply send some defaults.  The one
listed by Opera is fine since at the end it has */* which means everything as well.
Anyways I have added this now.  If the metadata is not set we send that one as a
default.

Well the meta-data is so that the application can have control over what it wants
to send :)
