When I raised this issue before on this list, I got the impression that the WebKit project was generally receptive to changing its content sniffing algorithm. Get the ball rolling, I'd suggest making the following changes:
As you know, today’s WebKit project does not have a content sniffing algorithm. Apple software that it uses for networking does have a sniffing algorithm. I believe earlier you proposed moving the sniffing into the WebKit project. If the list of changes here is proposed for the Apple software beneath WebKit, then we need to use a different forum. The folks responsible for that software don't participate on this mailing list. I think the proposals themselves sound good. One way to start the ball rolling is to file a bug at bugreport.apple.com with these suggested changes and cite the WebKit context in that bug report. If you do that, please give me the bug number so I can push the changes here within Apple. -- Darin
