If the Content-Type header has to be fixed up to match the encoding being used to send a String, what should happen if the user-specified header is malformed?
var r = new XMLHttpRequest(); r.open("POST", "somewhere"); r.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain; a=b; charset==US-ASCII; c=d"); r.send("something"); Would it be fair for the a=b and c=d parameters to be ditched and the header replaced with: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 ? How about if the type/subtype part is malformed? -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
