It looks like this patch only fixes the issue for the chromium port. I verified this happens in Safari on the Mac, so it would be nice to fix this for all platforms.

Also, it seems like this patch would break the ability to use the object element to load resources in a subframe. Since it might not be possible to determine a resource's MIME type a priori (e.g. type @attr or filename extension), our current behavior is to load the resource in a subframe and determine the type from the HTTP Content-Type header. Doesn't this change that behavior?
