getMIMETypeFromUrl

An async function that takes a URL string, makes a fetch request to that URL, and extracts the MIME type from the response Response object. Returns an empty string ('') if it fails to retrieve the MIME type.

💡 You can narrow the type to MIMEType using the isMIMEType function.

💡 See the Note section below for all available MIME type values.
