I'm not sure about this case "Bogus MIME type should end up as application/octet-stream, 2".

Based on the specification, "If mime is a parsable MIME type, then set override MIME type to its MIME type portion.".
The xhr specification doesn't mention invalid mime type.

So I think "text/xml;charset=†" is a parsable MIME type, but it's not a valid MIME type, because the parameter 'dagger' (†) character is invalid token.


https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/#parsable-mime-type
A valid MIME type
is a string that matches the media-type rule defined in section 3.1.1.1 "Media Type" of RFC 7231. In particular, a valid MIME type may include parameters. [RFC7231]


     token          = 1*tchar

     tchar          = "!" / "#" / "$" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "*"
                    / "+" / "-" / "." / "^" / "_" / "`" / "|" / "~"
                    / DIGIT / ALPHA
                    ; any VCHAR, except delimiters

Maybe I'm wrong. Anne, what do you think?

Since the dagger is outside ASCII it cannot be parsed technically I think.

Okay, I wonder why they have to distinguish between a parsable MIME type and a valid MIME type.
Sometimes there are differences between what the parser can return and what is actually valid to write.

  <style>body { color:green</style>

parses as

  <style>body { color:green }</style>

but only the latter is valid.

It might not be worth fixing that particular test for now though since I suspect nobody has done sufficient research yet on how MIME types are actually parsed by various browsers.
