162443 - Trouble recognizing that an item is an image

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Kyle Bieneman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607
BuildID:    0000000000

Mozilla fails to recognize what certain items are, and defaults to displaying
them as ASCII text.  In this particular instance, it is a GIF image that is
displayed as text, though I have also encountered the problem with DivX movies.
 The page above may not be very useful, as the site requires registration, but I
don't have a webpage, so unfortunately I can't mirror the image.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit
http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/servlet/FreeTrainers?action=FTChart&exercise=Incline_Seated_Calf_Raises

Actual Results:  I see the text string "GIF89a" (w/out quotes) followed by a
page of garbage text.

Expected Results:  I should have seen a pretty graph demonstrating my ever
increasing weight lifting ability.

Works in IE under Windows, so I know that the image is not corrupted.

check the mime/type is not text/plain or text/html for images.

The provided URL dosn't work, it just sends -nothing- (tested with mozilla and wget)

But as Olivier said:
It seems like the webserver is broken and sends a wrong Content-Type..
If the MimeType is text/hml .. text/plain, mozilla does the right thing and
displays the image as text or html ... .. so it would be INVALID (because
mozilla does what the server told us to do)

Ah, yes, the mime/type appears to be the problem.  Sorry to waste everyone's time.
