102965 - mac.com - xml and xsl served as text/plain

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P2)

Description

[Paul Carr]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77C-CCK-MCD {C-UDP; EBM-APPLE} (Macintosh; U; PPC)
BuildID:    0.9.4

Mozilla doesn't load or apply an xsl stylesheet when the stylesheet is served 
over the web.  When the stylesehet is local, the behavior is correct.  The bug 
behaves differently when the stylesheet is on an Apache or Netscape-Enterprise 
server.  ON the latter, Mozilla displays the xml source.  When the xsl is served 
by Apache, Mozilla applies the default stylesheet (parses all the CDATA 
elements).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.xml file uses <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="testproc.xsl"?> to invoke 
stylesheet
2.xsl stylesheet is loaded over the web via http 
3.load xml file with browser.

Actual Results:  Netscape server - displays xml code
Apache server - default stylesheet

Expected Results:  Should have applied stylesheet, as it does when stylesheet is 
local.

You have a misconfigured server, it is sending the XSLT file with text/plain
mime type, which is wrong. It should serve some known XML mime type, like text/xml.

Uh, meant to reassign and not dupe.

Evangelism bug. Here is a wget log showing the server is indeed serving
incorrect mime type.

Paul, as a user of the site can you contact Apple about this issue or would
rather we do it?

1 year later...

http://homepage.mac.com/abmacarr/ is no longer a .Mac account. 

Anyone know a .Mac subscriber who could upload a testcase?

It took some work, but mighty Google prevails again. Sadly, the problem is worse
than expected.

Apple is unlikely to fix this until Safari supports XML. I recommend contacting
Dave Hyatt.
