Details

** Observed with 7/29/99 Win32 (Necko) build ** The above page is part of International performance test. This and some other pages no longer load. Instead, you are prompoted for downloading such pages. The above server is using HTTP 1.1 and sends Connection:close before it sends Content-Type header. See below: --------------------------------------------- HTTP/1.1 200 OKCRLF Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 18:54:09 GMTCRLF Server: Apache/1.3.3 (Unix) mod_perl/1.16 rus/PL26.5CRLF Connection: closeCRLF Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1251CRLF Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMTCRLF Last-Modified: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 18:54:09 GMTCRLF Vary: accept-charset, user-agentCRLF CRLF <HTML>LF <HEAD>LF .... .... --------------------------------------------- 4.7 and pre-necko 5.0 builds have no problem with this but the necko build does. The above output was obtained by using a view utility by erik which outputs what the server sends in response to an http request. Here's where you find the view utility: http://warp/employees/erik/view/
probably a dup of bug 10627
Paul it seems to be a duplicate. But I found something very interesting at the other page mentioned in Bug 10627. It apparently is not the Connection: close that is bothering us, It is the Content Charset header we don't seem to be able to deal with. Here's the view output: ------------------------------------------ HTTP/1.1 200 OKCRLF Server: Lotus-Domino/ReleaseCRLF Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 19:09:55 GMTCRLF Content-Base: http://www.nvidia.com/Home.nsfCRLF Content-Type: text/html; charset=US-ASCIICRLF Content-Length: 20914CRLF Last-Modified: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 09:01:03 GMTCRLF Expires: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 09:01:03 GMTCRLF CRLF <HTML>LF <!-- Lotus-Domino (Release 5.0 - March 30, 1999 on Windows NT/Intel) -->LF <HEAD>LF ------------------------------------------ Note that this page doesn't send "Connection:close" but does send the HTTP Charset header in the Content-type line. This impacts internaitonal testing where it involves HTTP charset headers.
My guess is that the code parsing the content-type header is not parsing for parameter and is trying to match the entire string "text/html; charset=US-ASCII" to the known content types when it should be just trying to matching "text/html". But the charset parameter should be maintained (see bug #8443).

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10627 ***
The other bug now has some info about the HTTP charset header and so it's OK to verify this bug as a duplicate.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
