Comment #11 on issue 29354 by [email protected]: Starting earth download eats all your RAM http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29354
It looks like FireFox avoids doing the magic number check if it already has a Content Type for the request: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla- central/source/netwerk/streamconv/converters/nsUnknownDecoder.cpp#337 Comments indicate that the sniffing for application/octet-stream is to detect xhtml content that IIS serves up under this Content-Type. Given that, I think we should not do a magic number lookup if we already have a Content-Type header. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
