So far, I have successfully tested file previews on LibreWolf, Mull Browser, Ungoogled Chromium, Tor Browser and SeaMonkey. Some file formats, such as .wav, might or might not be previewed by the browser, and would instead be served as a regular file download.

Previews only differ from regular downloads on the contents of the "Content-Disposition" HTTP header (inline or attachment; filename="<filename>", respectively), so it is up to the browser how to render "Content-Disposition: inline".

Maybe you should check your web browser settings, or try with different browsers.

Is there any unexpected output from slcl when attempting to preview a file?

It has almost no dependencies and relies on libweb, a HTTP web...
