91451 - empty content type -> dialog w/ ""#1" [#2] from #3"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83465

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Stanislav Malyshev]

If you try to open a site that returns empty content type (e.g.:
http://www.sputnikdevelopment.net/about_r.php), the download dialog is
displayed. In the dialog it is written:

You have chosen to download a file of type: "#1" [#2] from #3

I guess it is not OK. Ideally, it should try to cope with such a broken site and
display it if the user asks so. But in any case, the #s look pretty weird.

-> Networking HTTP

Confirming on Linux trunk 2001061806.  But why would a server send no content
type?  Perhaps we should have a default content type of text/html or text/plain?
 In any case, I agree that the given dialog should not be displayed.  Here is
the output from the server:

HEAD http://www.sputnikdevelopment.net/about_r.php
