214022 - Commas in Content-Type headers cause great confusion

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 210229

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas Thurman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030715 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030715 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Going to http://www.hometown.aol.com (or, AFAICS any other page on that site)
makes FB put up a dialogue saying:

  The file "" is of type iso-8859-1, and Mozilla Firebird does not know
  how to handle this file type.

and asking what viewer application to use, where to save the file, and so on.

A little investigation shows that the server is sending

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=Shift_JIS,ISO-8859-1

which is non-RFC2045 compliant (the "Shift_JIS,ISO-8859-1" should be quoted,
since it contains a comma). However, FB breaks so spectacularly on this that
it's difficult to view any page on the site.

This is certainly an evangelism issue, but FB could perhaps use a little
do-what-I-mean here as well.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.hometown.aol.com
