steve_dunn2 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 There are a number of pages I can't get to using Netscape 7.02 today. I first noticed it when looking for equipment reviews, but the Contact Us page does the same thing. They're being tagged with a content type of text/plain, not text/html, so instead of being rendered as an HTML page, the HTML source is being displayed. Netscape 4.79 does the same. The home page is fine, as are the forum pages. I haven't visited any of those pages in a while but have never seen this problem with them before. IE6 manages to display those pages; I don't know how to get it to tell me what the content type is supposed to be so I don't know if photo.net is sending different content depending on my browser. Opera 7.03 also displays them correctly, and I don't know how to get it to tell me what content type it's receiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Barry Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 The same thing happens under Camino v0.7. Leading me to believe it's a Mozilla thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tardio Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I get the same thing...the HTML source page...on certain links. It happens with netscape 7.02 for me as well. This was not the case yesterday. So whatever changes have been made have caused this. <p> Everything works fine with IE6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_swanson Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Ditto Mozilla 1.7b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phule Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 It is indeed the incorrect mime type. IE attempts to fake it, when it sees something that looks like HTML it renders it such. Mozilla, however, accepts the mime type as given. ------------------------------------------------------ Escape character is '^]'.

bobatkins Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 You can "fix" this problem for now by using the full URL to a file rather than the trailing slash format. <p> For example: <p> <a href="/learn/optics/tc2/">http://www.photo.net/learn/optics/tc2/</a> will server text but... <p> <a href="/learn/optics/tc2/index.html">http://www.photo.net/learn/optics/tc2/index.html</a> will serve the same file as HTML. <p> It seems to be a server configuration problem. Brian mentioned elsewhere he has been doing things with the trailing slash vs. no trailing slash links and this seems likely to be a side effect of that. Hopefully he can configure the server to serve default files as HTML rather than text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mph Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Yep. Server doing the wrong thing, Mozilla (and w3m, for what it's worth) doing the right thing, MSIE not doing what it's told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 In theory I have fixed this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sterioma Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 It works now for me (Mozilla 1.6). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Tardio Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 It now works again for me, too, Brian. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
