html docs served from SVN have mime-type text/plain, so not rendered by Mozilla
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: STDCXX-122
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-122
     Project: STDCXX
        Type: Bug
  Components: Documentation  
    Versions: 4.1.2    
 Environment: Mozilla browser
    Reporter: Harmon Sequoya Nine


Mozilla is not rendering the html docs for this project (just look at 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/stdcxx/trunk/doc/stdlibug/1-1.html in 
Mozilla to see this).  This is legitimate because the docs are being served 
from an SVN server, and all documents from such a server are supposed to have a 
mime-type of text/plain (i.e. instead of text/html).

This makes viewing the docs not particularly useful (that is, unless you're 
using MS Exploder, which apparently has a BUG that ignores the mime-type of a 
document if it looks like html).

However, there is a way to cure this problem and still serve the html docs from 
SVN (probably, anyway - don't know if it will actually work).  That is to place 
the following "meta" tag in the "<head>" section of each of the html pages:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"/>

Hopefully, SVN will not override this meta tag.
