#22084 [NEW]: Content-Type: text/css, broaken bigtime in new versions of PHP

From: tlb@rapanden.dk Operating system: Linux Mandrake 9.0 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Apache related Bug description: Content-Type: text/css, broaken bigtime in new versions of PHP As written in the RFC this "Content-Type: text/css" should be interpreted as "Content-Type: text/css; charset=ISO-8859-1" by any HTTP 1.0/1.1 software, but it's not by newer version of php and it's changed to "Content-Type: text/html; charset=" and that's plain wrong, the one provided to Apache is even more broaken, "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15" there by breaking support for standard compliant Mozilla/Netscape 7.0 and making any CSS used by non functional. http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/unicode/unicode-http.html and ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt 3.4.1 Missing Charset Some HTTP/1.0 software has interpreted a Content-Type header without charset parameter incorrectly to mean "recipient should guess." Senders wishing to defeat this behavior MAY include a charset parameter even when the charset is ISO-8859-1 and SHOULD do so when it is known that it will not confuse the recipient. Unfortunately, some older HTTP/1.0 clients did not deal properly with an explicit charset parameter. HTTP/1.1 recipients MUST respect the charset label provided by the sender; and those user agents that have a provision to "guess" a charset MUST use the charset from the and test.php: <? header('Content-Type: text/css'); ?> [tlb@tlb tlb]$ wget -O - -d http://tlb.rapanden.dk/test.php DEBUG output created by Wget 1.8.2 on linux-gnu. --00:14:54-- http://tlb.rapanden.dk/test.php => `-' Resolving tlb.rapanden.dk... done.
