85431 - image incorrectly displayed.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jaagup Irve]

Steps:
1. go to http://www.hot.ee/irve/index.html
2. press ctrl+i to open Page Info
3. click images
4. click the image with alt attribute set to HTML 4.0, raw file contents
displayed instead of picture itself.

note that image can be seen correctly in the page. 
URL of image:
http://www.hot.ee/irve/pic/vh40

the bug is probably caused by the missing .png and therefore has no mime-type
declared by the originating server.

also, the last image is not displayed as intended, instead of displaying the
image internally, Mozilla opens Quick-time plug-in to render it.
this is a server-generated .gif that serves as a counter.

should I file it as another bug?

Comment 2

[Aaron Kaluszka]

The server did not set a mime-type causing the raw file problem.
The server-generated image is a .png, not .gif, and your QT plug-in has taken
control of that extension.  Without QT installed, it shows up normally.

If the server did not set a mime type that would be one thing.  But the server
sends "Content-Type: text/plain" for that image and we respect that... Sounds
like a server misconfiguration issue to me.  Probably evangelism.

[Andreas M. "Clarence" Schneider]

Looking at the reporter's mail address I think we need no evangelism.
Marking INVALID. Any browser that does not the same as Mozilla has a bug.
I'm not sure if we even should display it when used as source of an <img>
within a document with strict doctype.

Which, by the way, is not a bad idea at all. Strictness should be universal, not 
just in some parts of the program...
