6519 - problem with attachment MIME types

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Attachments & Requests, defect, P3)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

Bugzilla is adding information to attachment MIME types.   In the attachment
linked from the above page,

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6518

it is giving the MIME type:

Content-Type: text/xml; name="c:\node_e~1.xml";

and thus the page is not being recognized as XML by Mozilla, making the
attachment useless.  Although it *probably* should (I'm not sure) be recognized
as XML, it would be better if bugzilla served the MIME type exactly as given.

I just confirmed this does happen on other attachments (I tried two others,
both html).

Per both the XML MIME type registration:

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/media-types/text/xml

and RFC 1521:

http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc1521.txt

the only legal parameter for a text/xml MIME type (or text/xml, for the first
source) is charset.

OK, I've stopped putting on the "name=" stuff.  (It wasn't having the desired
effect, anyway; I was hoping it would help provide a default name when people
tried to save an attachment to disk.)

Verified fixed by telnetting to bugzilla.mozilla.org on port 80.  (For some
reason, the server gives type text/html for a HEAD request, but the correct
text/xml for a GET request.  Is this new?  I don't seem to remember it.  It may
be another bug.)
