Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Attempted to subscribe to http://decentralize.fm/shows


Actual results:

"The Feed URL is not a valid feed."


Expected results:

I expected the outbound request to send the "Accept: application/xml" header, but instead it sent "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8", which caused the resource to be rendered as HTML.
I tested it also on SeaMonkey, so it could be classified into a common category. The problem seems unrelated to the OS.
