Mozilla/NS6 do not registers itself to default application for .shtlm files. So when I load a .shtml file - Netscape 4.76 loads. :(
cc: se and law, who should know more (i think se is the qa for this and law the dev. If not, blame asa ;)
should be part of windows Desktop Integration?
yeah, sorry for not saying this. Should be in Desktop Integration (also .shtm).
over to Apps.

nav triage team: Not a beta1 stopper, marking nsbeta1-
Keywords: nsbeta1-
It's not just files on the local system. When I click on a link to a ".shtml" file (or just type one in the address box), I see the raw text (as if it ended in ".txt"), rather than the correct format (rendered as if it ended in ".html"). Example: http://www.apng.org/idns/samples/ch.shtml http://www.apng.org/idns/samples/utf8.shtml
<bugzilla:offtopic namespace="html"> dcary@BrunswickOutdoor.com, the servers are returning text/plain, that's a server bug that's unrelated. <HTML> <HEAD> ... </HEAD> <BODY TEXT="#293D93" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" VLINK="#767676"> <HTML> <BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF> </bugzilla:offtopic> as for .shtml, i guess that should be easy to fix. generally, .shtml means that there's a server side processor, and therefor it is logical for you to _not_ want a client to read the raw source. i think this should probably go to a spec person before it gets implemented.

Nothing happened yet? It still refuses to handle .shtm files when they are loaded from the web (if I load them from the local file system it seems to work). I even edited mimeTypes.rdf and added .shtm as "text/html" type.
Is it so hard to implement this? Very annoyng... :(((

Resolving WFM. re: comment 11 I don't see any problem with text/html, regardless of extension. See comment 8: if the server says it's text/plain, then it is (subject to some content-sniffing that might go on). The two URLs you cite work OK for me.

This bug was for not handling on local system: just try to create a *.shtml file and click on it - it opens in NN4.x, ie, opera, but not mozilla, coz moz do not regester itself to handle .shtml files. Reopening.

Comment on attachment 67492 [details] [diff] [review] Possible patch r=law Sure, that's how to fix it, presuming we really want to. I don't know what ".shtml" means, exactly, but if NN4.x dealt with 'em, I suppose Mozilla can, also.

Bill, .shtml is "HTML with server-side includes". I have no idea why someone's opening it from disk (it likely won't work correctly) but....

the only thing is if some one has a URL: with say foo.shtml and save it to disk as foo.shtml, then they would want to open the file which they would like moz's extention setting to open it like a .html file so that is why I guess.
Mozilla registers the .shtml extension in 1.0RC3 on Windows 98. Verifying.
