[PATCH] gitweb: Send XHTML as 'application/xhtml+xml' where possible

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



"The 'text/html' media type [RFC2854] is primarily for HTML, not for
XHTML. In general, this media type is NOT suitable for XHTML."

This patch makes gitweb use content negotiation to conservatively send
pages as Content-Type 'application/xhtml+xml' when the user agent
explicitly claims to support it.

It falls back to 'text/html' even if the user agent claims to support
'application/xhtml+xml' by means of a glob in order to work around an
insidious Internet Explorer bug.
