34770 - Can't open local files and/or remote XML files

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[Pierre Saslawsky]

On the Mac with a build from this afternoon, we can't open local HTML or XML 
files: they are displayed as source files.

With a patched version of nsXMLMIMEDataSource.cpp that davidm sent me, we can 
open local files but we can no longer open remote XML files. To test it, open 
Test14 in the Viewer Demos under the Debug menu, or go directly to the URL above.

I haven't tested on other platforms.

I can sort of open the remote one. It works about 90% of the time on both mac 
and linux but for some reason it occassionaly fails with and Error Loading URL 
debug message. As the added code is never touched on linux, I am wondering if 
this might be a cache issue. Will look at later

I can't reproduce this today. The mime mapping code doesn't even appear to be 
called for typing the xml file ( http header?).
