WebKit converts all the characters in the Mime-Type string mentioned in the type="application/Sample-HelloWorld" attribute of the <object> tag to lower case as "application/sample-helloworld" and give it to the NPP_New() call.

So, even though in the HTML page object tag has type="application/Sample-HelloWorld" and I return "application/sample-helloworld" as mime-type from my Plug-in then it loads fine. But in Firefox this scenario does not work.

I could not find any where the reason of converting the attribute values to lower case explicitly. 

I don't think that this problem is only for [Qt] or [Gtk] ports. This problem will be there if upper-cases MIME strings are returned from plug-ins in [Mac] port also.

Since RFC 2045 says that matching of media types should be case insensitive, So Plug-ins can have upper-case in their Mime-type strings.
