The 1.5 build of Mozilla is not formatting some HTML pages.  Instead, the page
is displayed as plain text.  This worked correctly in Mozilla 1.4.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.nyse.com
2. Enter IBM (or any stock symbol) in the Quick Quote text box
3. Click on the Quick Quote button


Actual Results:  
The CGI generated page is displayed as plain text in the frame.

Expected Results:  
Formatted the HTML page in the frame.
The data is being served as text/plain, so Mozilla shows it as plain text.  It
does the same thing in 1.4.

The fix is for the server administrator to correct the server setting.

Summary: HTML page is displayed as plain text → nyse.com - CGI HTML output served as text/plain
Version: Trunk → unspecified
Actually the data returned by the server contains two Content-Type fields and
some garbage. I suppose the problem was not present in Mozilla 1.4 because it
interprets the first received field whereas Mozilla 1.5 interprets the second one.

I already sent a mail to the webmaster (before looking to bugzilla), but I
haven't received any answer :-(

It seems that the problem has been fixed by the webmaster of this site, as it is
now working correctly.

This bug could now probably be closed.
