http://www.sourceexchange.com/ is a default nautilus bookmark.  This problem
always occurs because the web server returns "text/html" as the content type. 
The page is viewed as text in source mode every time when selecting the
SourceXchange bookmark.

To observe the content-type being served:

telnet www.sourceexchange.com 80
then type "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" and press enter twice.  wait for the response.

Returning "text/html" for the MIME type should be the normal behavior for web
pages, so this doesn't explain why it is defaulting to View as Text.

I suspect that "view as text" was selected at some point in Nautilus,
and going back to that bookmark would then display as html source
until "view as web page" was selected. We should verify this.
(In this case, this may be a usability bug, potentially addressed
by a preferences setting, but not for PR2)

I mis-spoke.  The server is returning:

Content-type: text/plain

Yes, I can reproduce this bug, and it is indeed returning text/plain for the
MIME type.

OpenOffice, another default bookmark, also displays as text as well. (Note that
OpenOffice, like sourceXchange, is a collab.net-created website, so it may be
the same problem if done by the same people --- haven't investigated.)

Note that GET's return text/html on these sites.

Maybe all non-DAV HTTP sites returning text/plain should be changed to text/html
so that they go to mozilla?

This also occurs with the ZDNet Linux site, which is a current (10/25) default
bookmark --- http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/hud0022900/linux.zdnet.com

For you Mathieu.

"Just use GET"

the 2 sites given as example work now.

Re-opening; default bookmark
http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/hud0022900/linux.zdnet.com is treated as plain
text, and also not even displayed. (tested on Nov 1 12:19:04 RPM build)

Mathieu, I can fork this into a separate bug report if you'd like, but am
re-opening in interim due to PR2 criticality.

We think that we should switch all 302's and 301's to return text/html



------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2000-11-01 20:17:41 ----

Verified fixed in Nov 1st. 16:45 RPM build. 

However, I do note that none of these web sites display a web page size in the
sidebar; will fork as separate bug (possible GNOME-VFS problem, per sullivan.)
