Package: firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg+1
(note: not a dupe bug beyond the 1st two paragraphs)
Web servers often do not supply the correct MIME type.
When I try to view such a file, firefox gives me the choice
of saving it or viewing it with something lame like gedit.
I most recently saw the problem with a patch or config
file in a bugzilla. It happens elsewhere too, commonly.
When there is no viewer for the given MIME type,
firefox should use file extensions and file magic to
determine the MIME type. There is a good chance
that the new MIME type will have a viewer.
Note that IE will _always_ prefer the file extension
over the web server's MIME type, even if the web
server provided a useful type. I don't expect this to
go over all that well with the W3 cultists, but it sure
would make more web sites work as intended.
So I only ask that firefox attempt do do something
useful when the server's MIME type isn't any good.
BTW, the version is as displayed by aptitude. It seems
to be truncated.
