144719 - MathML Filename Extension (.mml, .html, .....)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 124709

(Core :: MathML, defect)

Description

[Hung-Te Lin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; zh-TW; rv:1.0rc2)
Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006 (1.0RC2)

When will Mozilla try to treat the document as
MathML embedded document?

I know '.xhtml' works fine, but for many popular
MathML generating programs, that's not enough.

Mathemetica 4.x outputs as '.html' and just
add <math> </math> to start/end MathML segments;
so I couldn't just use Mozilla to display things 
I've made from Mathemetica.

But even if for OpenOffice EQ editor (which uses
standard XML format), it outputs
'.mml' and Mozilla still get confused to it.

Can we add some filename extension to MathML type,
or just make MathML engine runs whenever a <math>
tag appears?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use Mathematica 4 or OpenOffice to export a page
2.Open with Mozilla

Actual Results:  The pure code with tags was printed,
 or asking me what program to open the file, or just download.

Expected Results:  Feasible math equations

You're serving the document as "text/mathml" -- there is no such MIME type.
Change that to the generic "text/xml" and you will be fine.

There is a bug requesting us to recognize "application/mathml+xml" as well,
though.  I'll mark this as a duplicate of that.
