           Summary: Improper use of &quot in video-can-play-type.html
                    layout test
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: nancy.piedra at nokia.com


The layout test media/video-can-play-type.html uses the &quot entity reference improperly.  See below:

testExpected("video.canPlayType('video/mpeg; Codecs="avc1.4D400C"')", "probably");


The &quot entity reference does not get decoded so the ContentType class cannot parse the codecs parameter.  This only seems to cause an issue with the Qt MediaPlayer implementation as I noticed that no other implementation seems to look at the codecs parameter (but if they did use this parameter, they would see the same problem).

An attempt to parse the &quot in the ContentType class was attempted here:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53275

But I think the entity reference should not have been used in this case and ContentType should not be required to decode it.


To reproduce the issue, run the video-can-play-type.html test and check the value of contentType in the ContentType class constructor.
