Summary: [GTK] MiniBrowser hangs when opening 'file:///' urls
of content other than HTML
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Platform: Unspecified
OS/Version: Unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: WebKit2
AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
ReportedBy: elima at igalia.com
Opening local content of (at least) types txt, css and json makes MiniBrowser hang.
1) $ touch /tmp/foo.txt
2) $ WebKitBuild/Release/Programs/MiniBrowser file:///tmp/foo.txt
The expected result would (ideally) be showing the contents as raw txt file. Unsupported MIME-types can be checked with `webkit_web_view_can_show_mime_type()` <http://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/stable/WebKitWebView.html#webkit-web-view-can-show-mime-type>.
A quicker solution would be to avoid the hang and show a simple error message praying "unsupported MIME-type" or something alike. I can work on this approach initially, and then file a new bug to provide a default handler for unsupported types, which should require more work.
