// Detecting mime types is a tricky business because we need to balance
// compatibility concerns with security issues. Here is a survey of how other
// browsers behave and then a description of how we intend to behave.
//
// HTML payload, no Content-Type header:
// * IE 7: Render as HTML
// * Firefox 2: Render as HTML
// * Safari 3: Render as HTML
// * Opera 9: Render as HTML
//
// Here the choice seems clear:
// => Chrome: Render as HTML
//
// HTML payload, Content-Type: "text/plain":
// * IE 7: Render as HTML
// * Firefox 2: Render as text
// * Safari 3: Render as text (Note: Safari will Render as HTML if the URL
// has an HTML extension)
// * Opera 9: Render as text
//
// Here we choose to follow the majority (and break some compatibility with IE).
// Many folks dislike IE's behavior here.
// => Chrome: Render as text
// We generalize this as follows. If the Content-Type header is text/plain
// we won't detect dangerous mime types (those that can execute script).
//
// HTML payload, Content-Type: "application/octet-stream":
// * IE 7: Render as HTML
// * Firefox 2: Download as application/octet-stream
// * Safari 3: Render as HTML
// * Opera 9: Render as HTML
//
// We follow Firefox.
// => Chrome: Download as application/octet-stream
// One factor in this decision is that IIS 4 and 5 will send
// application/octet-stream for .xhtml files (because they don't recognize
// the extension). We did some experiments and it looks like this doesn't occur
// very often on the web. We choose the more secure option.
//
// GIF payload, no Content-Type header:
// * IE 7: Render as GIF
// * Firefox 2: Render as GIF
// * Safari 3: Download as Unknown (Note: Safari will Render as GIF if the
// URL has an GIF extension)
// * Opera 9: Render as GIF
//
// The choice is clear.
// => Chrome: Render as GIF
// Once we decide to render HTML without a Content-Type header, there isn't much
// reason not to render GIFs.
//
// GIF payload, Content-Type: "text/plain":
// * IE 7: Render as GIF
// * Firefox 2: Download as application/octet-stream (Note: Firefox will
// Download as GIF if the URL has an GIF extension)
// * Safari 3: Download as Unknown (Note: Safari will Render as GIF if the
// URL has an GIF extension)
// * Opera 9: Render as GIF
//
// Displaying as text/plain makes little sense as the content will look like
// gibberish. Here, we could change our minds and download.
// => Chrome: Render as GIF
//
// GIF payload, Content-Type: "application/octet-stream":
// * IE 7: Render as GIF
// * Firefox 2: Download as application/octet-stream (Note: Firefox will
// Download as GIF if the URL has an GIF extension)
// * Safari 3: Download as Unknown (Note: Safari will Render as GIF if the
// URL has an GIF extension)
// * Opera 9: Render as GIF
//
// We used to render as GIF here, but the problem is that some sites want to
// trigger downloads by sending application/octet-stream (even though they
// should be sending Content-Disposition: attachment). Although it is safe
// to render as GIF from a security perspective, we actually get better
// compatibility if we don't sniff from application/octet stream at all.
// => Chrome: Download as application/octet-stream
//
// XHTML payload, Content-Type: "text/xml":
// * IE 7: Render as XML
// * Firefox 2: Render as HTML
// * Safari 3: Render as HTML
// * Opera 9: Render as HTML
// The layout tests rely on us rendering this as HTML.
// But we're conservative in XHTML detection, as this runs afoul of the
// "don't detect dangerous mime types" rule.
//
// Note that our definition of HTML payload is much stricter than IE's
// definition and roughly the same as Firefox's definition.
