Hi,
I'm trying to figure out whether my filter, which currently runs upstream
of mod_headers, is likely to see the correct mimetype
in request->content_type.
In particular, we need to know whether browsers will interpret the content
as XHTML or HTML, which is determined by the mimetype. Do people typically
set the mimetype using mod_headers, or is that typically set using AddType
or some other mechanism?
It's usually set by the content generator. However, you have to keep in
mind that any module may modify that value (any output filter may, too)
up until the AP_FTYPE_CONTENT_SET (runs after the AP_FTYPE_RESOURCE
output filters).
Additionally, please keep in mind that Firefox has begun the old I.E.
hack of sniffing the content and ignoring the Content-Type header if it
can figure it out, so you will have to be aware that content_type is not
indicative at any stage of what the browser is going to do.
