Re: feed: URI assumed by Safari



Hi Lucas,

I haven't had a chance to delve into exactly what's wrong, but from cursory examination, I have a feeling Safari is getting confused by the MIME type your server is returning for this file. It's claiming text/html, which is incorrect.

Arguably, Safari should recover my gracefully, and you're welcome to file a bug on that. But, I imagine that if you fix up the server to return a proper MIME type in the http headers, Safari will cease to choke. Again, just an assumption on my part; I haven't had time to test this theory.

This is the URI of an RSS 2.0 feed with enclosures:

According to feedvalidator.org it is valid in every regard, as
beautifully formed a feed as has yet emerged from the foam.  To give
just one example of its pristine condition, it does not redirect to
feed://webjay.org/podcast/xml/shewolf/olppopsongs, nor does it make
any reference to such a bogus URI scheme.

When opened from Safari (but not IE/Win or Firefox on any platform),
the following error happens:
'Safari can't open the page
"feed://webjay.org/podcast/xml/shewolf/olppopsongs". The error was:
"unknown error" (NSURLErrorDomain:-1)'

My wild guess as to what's happening here is that Safari is making
some assumption that the client should be the iTunes client and the
server *is* the iTunes store, but that's just a guess.

The impact of this bug is that Safari users are unable to subscribe to
podcasts from third party providers, so it's not a small problem.
