Subject: bad http accept header

Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2004 23:29:12 +0200

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-1
Severity: normal

w3m uses a extremely broad HTTP Accept header in its requests where
it claims to handle all text types. This is not true though: at least
text/xml is not supported.

This breaks when a webserver uses content negotiation to choose between
text/html and text/xml; in my standard apache multiview setup apache
chooses text/xml which results in w3m not being able view the site.

Wichert.

Just find:

Accept: */*

And change to:

Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,*/*

This is a very annoying bug sometimes..
