Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the feed-back! I went further and made the CharacterSet class smarter: it now maps “MacRoman” to the preferred IANA’s name (“macintosh”). I would be nice if you could test again with the next snapshot or the upcoming 2.0 M4 to confirm it fixes your issue.

Its probably still worthwhile registering this as an issue on Mac, even though there is a workaround. I'll leave it as a TODO in my application, just in case nobody else gets around to looking at it. Thanks very much for your help, Bruce. -- www.brucecooper.net - 0417 986 274 - www.unico.com.au 2009/7/5 Jerome Louvel <jerome.lou...@noelios.com> Hi Bruce, Thats rather unexpected indeed. Ive checked the text/css media type and it does support the charset parameter: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2318 What seems wrong is the name of the character set. Looking at IANA registry, the proper name is either macintosh or mac, but not MACROMAN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_Roman http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets A test that would be interesting to do is to change the default character set to something like UTF-8 to see if this is the value of the character set that annoys FireFox. One way to do this is: myApp.getMetadataService().setDefaultCharacterSet(CharacterSet.UTF_8); BTW, Ive also added CharacterSet.MACINTOSH constant and default extension mappings for character sets in MetadataService (ascii, utf8, utf16, mac, win).

I've found today that Firefox 3.5 on my Mac was not reading CSS files correctly. To be more specific, it was reading the files, but was not using the results that were returned. To work out what was going wrong, I wrote a simple test page, which had a single DIV with a background color set by a style in an attached style sheet. Viewing the page directly from the disk using Safari or Firefox worked. Viewing the Page when served by Apache worked for both Safari and Firefox. When the files were served up by the restlet engine, it continued to work correctly in Safari, but Firefox ignored the stylesheet. After this, I spent a bit of time in Firebug having a look in headers. The main difference I could see was that the restlet engine was reporting the content-type of the repsonse as text/css; charset=MACROMAN Whereas Apache was just returning the content type as text/css. I've dug around the code and found that in org.restlet.engine.local.Entity line 252 it sets the charset of the response to the platform default if it hasn't already been set. To test my theory, I commented out this part of the code, and Firefox started responding correctly to the CSS file again (as shown in Picture 10). I don't know if it is Firefox not understanding the charset or whether it just doesn't like the charset at all, but either way it is a problem. For the moment, I'll just be leaving this code commented out, but I would appreciate some advice on the best way to fix this. Please let me know if you need any more information.
