256324 - HTTP_ACCEPT variable does not include support for types image/jpeg and image/gif.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Darrell Wright]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

While using the webmail software Squirrelmail, I noticed that images would no
longer show inline when Firefox is used.  Under Mozilla and IE they do.  I
checked the HTTP_ACCEPT (this is the variable squirrelmail uses to determine
what types may be inlined on a browser) via a simple cgi shell script and it did
not include the jpeg and gif mime types.

JPEG and GIF were removed deliberately in bug 231357.  Even Mozilla doesn't have
them anymore, so if they are in your Mozilla HTTP_ACCEPT, it's just a leftover
from when it used to be included.

I think this bug should be some sort of wontfix/invalid.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
