From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010701
BuildID: 2001070116
DirecTV Broadband (formally known as Telocity DSL) provides a DSL gateway with
an embedded OS/webserver. The status of the DSL connection can be queried by
going to the main web page of the embedded webserver. This works find for
Netscape 4.x, IE 5.x & Konqueror 2.x which display the page as an HTML page.
However, Mozilla 0.9.2 prompts "You have chosen to download a file of type: "#1"
[#2] from #3" A look at the HTTP header reveals that the embedded webserver is
returning an empty Content-Type, but should Mozilla's way of handling this be
considered "correct?"
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find a web server which produces an empty "Content-Type:"
2.Confirm IE, Netscape 4.x & Konqueror treat content-type as default or text/html
3.Confirm that Mozilla prompts for file download
Actual Results: Identical to description above
Expected Results: Treated empty content-type as if no content-type had been
specified at all (defaulted back to text/html) as appears to be the behavior of
most other web browsers.
Embedded webserver HTTP responce as follows:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Connection: close
Server: Gateway WindWeb/1.1
Date: THU JAN 01 00:37:15 1970
Content-Type:
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Gateway"
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Telocity Services and Status</title>
