Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.6-3 Severity: normal This is a usability issue. When using Opera and visiting a page like <URL:http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/etckeeper.html> with links to a patch file (the ubuntu patch in this case), Iceweasel fail to show the patch when I click on the link. Instead it show a popup asking me to either save the file or pick some application to display it with. When I do the same with Opera, the browser display the text file, and I would like Iceweasel to do the same.
The content type of the patch is text/x-diff, as can be seen from this demonstration: % HEAD http://patches.ubuntu.com/e/etckeeper/etckeeper_0.48ubuntu1.patch 200 OK Connection: close Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 09:36:19 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "1e5e0e2-2068-48c4d15906e40" Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Content-Length: 8296 Content-Type: text/x-diff Last-Modified: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:43:29 GMT Client-Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 09:36:19 GMT Client-Peer: 91.189.90.149:80 Client-Response-Num: 1 Please change Iceweasel to show text/x-diff files inline as a text file. I experience this problem with Debian/Lenny, but tested it in Squeeze with version 3.5.13-1 and the problem still exist there. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=no_NO (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnspr4-0d 4.8-1~bpo50+1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps 1:3.2.7-11 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.19-5 XUL + XPCOM application runner iceweasel recommends no packages.
