User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The site http://mkcdrec.ota.be/ contains a frameset where the contents of the
frames have meta tags stating the Content-Type to be text/html. However, they
are wrapped - probably by the editor that created them.

End result appears to be that both Firefox and Mozilla treat

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"

As equivalent to Content-Type: not being defined - and so defaults to text/plain. 

Making one very broken site

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://mkcdrec.ota.be/
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
I'm assuming that <meta> tags are allowed to be wrapped like every other HTML
tag - so I'd say Mozilla and Firefox were broken.

Strangely enough, Konqueror has the same problem - but IE works fine

Bug should be moved to Browser->HTML: Parser

Firefox->Web Site is for http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Comment 2

[Bill Mason]

This has nothing to do with the meta tag.

The site's server is sending that page/frame as text/plain, so we're doing what
the server said to do.

Not a browser bug.  The site needs to fix its server.
