109987 - cvs.distributed.net uses bad DTD

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[timeless]

they do used bad doctypes though:
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

btw, for QNX Voyager, they send the content GZ encoded but Voyager doesn't know
to decode it :-(

Mass reassign of all tech-evangelism us general bugs assigned to bc to 
doron except bc's P1 bugs. You may search for this mass reassign (it is 
305 bugs) by searching for the keyword 'greeneggsandham'

The page hosted at cvs.distributed.net is running an uncustomized installation 
of cvsweb, which is at http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~zeller/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/

As per the cvsweb source, gzip compression is automatically used if the 
following expression is true:

$maycompress = (((defined($ENV{'HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'})
                 && $ENV{'HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING'} =~ m|gzip|)
                || $Browser =~ m%^Mozilla/3%)
               && ($Browser !~ m/MSIE/)
               && !(defined($ENV{'MOD_PERL'}) && !$has_zlib));

So Voyager is receiving gzipped content because of the "Mozilla/3" portion of 
its user-agent string.

everything - not a Mozilla problem
