128756 - Netscape UK servers sends bad MIME type for CSS files

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect, P1)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

Netscapeonline.co.uk send a bad MIME type for CSS files and therefore blocks
pages created with a strict DTD

CSS Validator test :
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmembers.netscapeonline.co.uk%2Fvaleriegsharp%2Fmain.css&warning=1&profile=css2

Result :
I/O Error: Unknown mime type : application/x-pointplus

Here is the response given to a user who submitted the server setup problem to
Netscape UK :

"Unfortunately we cannot help you further with this matter. Whether 
or not our Netscape Online hosting servers are using 
'application/x-pointplus' or not, they will be configured to support the 
browsers used by the majority of users"

Surprising statement from Netscape, isn't it? Some strong _internal_ Tech
Evangelism would do no arm :-)
