           Summary: Plain Text Representations of XML Source Code without
                    .txt Extension Result in Parsing
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

I saved an XHTML document as a text file so that I could display the source code for users to download. I have Apache HTTPD set up to leave off extensions with MultiViews. So while there is only one resource, xhtml.txt, but it is accessible via /xhtml as well as /xhtml.txt. In either case, the response headers report "Content-Type:text/plain; charset=utf-8". And yet, if I request /xhtml, WebKit renders the document incorrectly, parsing it as if it were actual XHTML. If I request it with .txt on the end of it, it renders the document correctly as plain text. However, if I remove the XML prolog, it is rendered as plain text in both instances. Gecko and Presto both display plain text regardless of whether an XML prolog is present.
