Get the filename of the resource and write out the contents into a new file with this filename. Normally the filename will have some indication as to the format of the file. For example, Letter.txt will be a text file, so writing it out as a Letter.txt will also be a text file. Prefer writing in binary mode only, so that you do not corrupt contents accidentally.

I wouldn't look at the filetype. For instance an website page with the name content.php will almost never return php code but rather an html file. You could look at the mime type that is returned by the server.
