I am going to move this bug to bugzilla.
When you find that the problems happen also in trunk builds for mozilla, please
file the bug in that system. Thanks.

additional URL that results in the same error:

http://www.tellus.no/tellus/db.dll?dv=Header&alberta/nye/header&dv=Footer&alberta/nye/footer&dv=browser&IE5&dv=java&&dv=katalog&alberta/nye&icp=alberta/nye/viewPhotos&dv=NoPhtos&2&PR55_762_1&sp=E&dv=PicturNr&1&dv=PhotoTyp&small

that god-awful long mess courtesy of explorealberta.com will display a nice
picture of a couple horses by a lake under a mountain. Attempting to view the
source code to this page (looking for the next/previous controls) results in the
error mentioned above. This is from a current pull of the trunk running on
Linux: checkout finish: Fri Apr 5 09:09:50 CST 2002

suggest platform/os -> all.

Ironically, also happens for Mozilla Bugzilla buglist URL:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&field0-0-0=short_desc&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=view&field1-0-0=short_desc&type1-0-0=substring&value1-0-0=source&cmdtype=doit

Opens blank View Source window, but brings up open/save dialogue; MIME type is
multipart/x-mixed-replace;x-view-type=view-source.

one more url to test: http://members.ebay.de/aboutme/gsteffens/

doesn't work for me with 1.0rc1 on RH Linux 7.0

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Dup of "Can't view source of dll cgi" (or other pages that don't bother to
follow the HTTP spec and send a content-type).

The bugzilla buglist problem is a separate issue (and is also long ago filed).
