This page used cgi searching method to return some results, but the result could
not be parsed as normal HTML format. If I saved it as a xxx.html file and open
it, it could be displayed correctly. I am able to repeate this problem in my PC
and solaris2.6 with latest release version 1.3alpha.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just open the URL http://sh.sina.com.cn/cgi-bin/search.cgi?type=1100
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Broswer treated the page as text/plain format.

Expected Results:  
Sould be as text/html format in normal way.

no mozilla bug !

Open the page and select Page info and look at the content type.
It's text/plain and Mozilla renders it as Text/plain.

Yes it works in IE but IE is broken and doesn't follow the mime-type from the
server and that violates the RFC.

Please write a mail to the webmaster that he should correct the mime-type
(should be text/html instead of text/plain)

It works from you hdd because your hdd doesn't send a mime-type and mozilla
looks for the content.
