           Summary: In view-source mode, always render the contents using
                    HTMLViewSourceDocument
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows Vista
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: tyoshino at google.com


When in view-source mode, render the contents using HTMLViewSourceDocument
regardless it's applicable for any plugin or not.

Chromium tells WebCore to render the contents of specified URL when
view-source: prefix is added to the URL. But currently, DOMImplementation
ignores inViewSourceMode() when the MIME type is indicating that the contents
are neither texts nor HTML family documents.

For example, we can check the contents of asf file without launching media
player. Rendering contents for view-source:-specified input is not what user
expects.

I want to fix this issue by this patch. IMHO, regardless of this Chromium
specific issue, I think we should force use of HTMLViewSourceDocument when
inViewSourceMode() is specified.
