           Summary: Does not send an Accept header for subresources,
                    causing some sites to break
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://www.inkscapegallery.net/quickstart
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: gns at gnome.org


Initially reported in Debian (see http://bgus.debian.org/563736). WebKitGTK+ is
unable to display the PNGs used in this site:
http://www.inkscapegallery.net/quickstart. I tracked this to be working when
the request is done using HTTP/1.0, and when it is done with HTTP/1.1 and with
an Accept header. That is why it works if you copy the image address and open
it - WebCore sends a default Accept header for main resources.

Safari seems to send an Accept header; Chromium sends Accept: */*, and works.
Firefox sends a more specific header saying it prefers image/png, but accepts
any image/* type. I guess it decided that because the resource is being loaded
from an <img> tag.
