Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 288907

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Vincent P. Renaud]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

The information about shockwave flash, namely "application/x-shockwave-flash"
value is missing in the http headers, 
According to macromedia, "application/x-shockwave-flash" should be included in
the HTTP_ACCEPT header.
(http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/releasenotes/player/rn_6.html#new -
Under "Customization of HTTP headers")
This would most likely result in failure of a "server-side only" flash detection.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Firefox and flash player
2.Test your HTTP headers

Actual Results:  
I get the content of my headers but there is no "application/x-shockwave-flash"
line.

Expected Results:  
According to macromedia, the webbrowsers should send the line
"application/x-shockwave-flash" if flash is installed and activated.
