92706 - XSLT style sheet served as text/plain

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect, P1)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Steps to reproduce:
1) Load http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/Overview.xml in Mozilla
2) Notice that a plain text dump is displayed.
3) Take a look at the source. The style sheet is:
http://www.w3.org/Style/XSL/stylesheets/public2html.xsl
4) Examine the content type the server sends for the style sheet. (eg. by
implementing a HTTP client manually using telnet.)

Actual results:
The style sheet is served as text/plain. Hence, it doesn't get applied and
Overview.xml is displayed as a plain text dump.

Expected results:
Expected the style sheet to be served using either text/xml or application/xml.

Additional information:
You can use this HTTP request to reproduce:

GET /Style/XSL/stylesheets/public2html.xsl HTTP/1.1
Host: www.w3.org:80
Accept: text/xml, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml, text/html;q=0.9

This bug is *not* a duplicate of bug 88614, even though the visual symptoms are
the same.

P1--major site, major technology demo problem (although a minor practical problem)

I can't get the transformation to apply even if I feed the files to Mozilla
using the right content type. I can't figure out what is wrong beyond the
content type.

All Evangelism Bugs are now in the Product Tech Evangelism. See bug 86997 for
details.

Max, this is one of the problems with the w3c server. The XSLT stylesheet is
getting served as text/plain, it should be text/xml.

[Michael Hearn]

Just tried it now and it works. This bug should be closed. -mike

Hmm... It seems to work well in a trunk build, but NS 6.1 shows just the W3C logo :(

So from mozilla.org's point of view this is closed. Do we want to do something
for Netscape here? Would probably involve debugging the stylesheet to see what
breaks in NS 6.1, coming up with a workaround and getting W3C to apply it for
the stylesheet...

Probably CSS styles in the result doc, I think Axel Hecht debugged that.

Comment 9

[Axel Hecht]

Can't test this, thanx to SUN I don't have a NS6.1 at my disposal.
CSS stylesheet shouldn't be the problem here, the divs should still be displayed
