Yes, it does appear to be a bug in Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57342 not to attempt to display text/x-haskell as if it were text/plain, but to get really obsessive I'm not convinced text/plain is strictly speaking the 'wrong' media-type if that's what the user-agent requests. For example, my FireFox 1.5.0.5 says to the server it will Accept these media-types text/xml, application/xml, application/xhtml+xml, text/html; q=0.9, text/plain; q=0.8, image/png,*/*; q=0.5 This is in order of what it would most like to get back from the server. The server then goes off and tries to find the best media-type for my browser - it can supply different ones depending on what the browser says it wants. By returning it as text/x-haskell the server has given the resource to my browser in */* which is the least wanted media-type. This is perfectly correct behaviour, but if the server was also capable of providing the same thing as text/plain it would be better to give this, or even better a pretty coloured text/html one if the server had one available. I think the underlying file returned as text/x-haskell or text/plain can be the exact same file assuming all x-haskell are also plain. Could be wrong, but that's my understanding of content negotiation. Richard. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Does anyone know how to make Firefox treat certain file types as others (HS as plain text, in particular)? so that I can browse them with any convenience In Windows what I do is save the file on the desktop when it asks you to save it. Then right-click the file and select open with and choose wordpad to open it with. Check the box open with this application every time. Now close it and go back to your browser and click on the file. It should now open up in wordpad each time. At least that is the behavior in IE.

In the HTTP headers from darcs.haskell.org (viewed with the Live HTTP headers extension in FireFox) I'm getting Fixed? It's already fixed. text/x-haskell is the right Content-Type to send; this is Haskell after all, not just plaintext. It's your browser's responsibility to display it any way it likes. People have had this discussion in #xmonad, and it seems that MIME edit (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4498) is a workable solution (I don't use it myself, though). Of course, Sterling Clover's suggestion (Open in Browser) would also work well. Hello Shachaf, I hope you intended this for the list, as I haven't seen it come through, if not my apologies for posting it. Ah, yes I see what you mean, text/x-haskell is the best media-type, however I think it ought to be possible to use 'content negotiation' http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html with more than one representation to supply the same file as text/plain to non-Haskell-capable browsers. I haven't actually done this though so can't be certain of it or provide configuration details. If somebody really wanted to get clever with it it could also supply pretty coloured Haskell for a text/html representation. Sorry, I couldn't find the #xmonad discussion, is this published somewhere? Richard. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
