| 00:58 | <MikeSmith> | csarven: I think that can be taken to mean there are many documents on the web which have Content-Type headers which are not valid according to the ABNF in he HTTP spec |
| 00:59 | <MikeSmith> | ... with the implication that if an implementation parses those Content-Type headers according to the HTTP-spec ABNF, the result is not what the authors of those documents expect |
| 01:01 | <MikeSmith> | ... and so with the further implication that browsers parse those Content-Type headers in the way defined in the Fetch spec, in order to avoid breaking compatiblity/expectations for that content |
| 01:02 | <MikeSmith> | or in other words, if browsers were to instead parse those Content-Type headers strictly in conformance with the HTTP-spec ABNF, that would break the existing behavior for many documents on the web |
| 16:15 | <annevk> | Yeah, that, simple example would be `text/html;`, though newer HTTP versions might fix that so I prolly need to come up with a new example |
| 17:13 | <smaug____> | gsnedders: you might recall what https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/html/browsers/browsing-the-web/history-traversal/unset_context_name.html is about |
| 17:14 | <smaug____> | that doesn't seem to be run, since it isn't really a test file. |
| 17:14 | <smaug____> | https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/html/browsers/browsing-the-web/history-traversal/unset_context_name-1.html is run as its own |
| 17:14 | <smaug____> | (or am I missing something) |
| 17:14 | <smaug____> | https://wpt.fyi/results/html/browsers/browsing-the-web/history-traversal?label=experimental&label=master&aligned does report only -1.html one |
| 17:16 | <gsnedders> | smaug____: definitely don't ask my about jgraham's ancient tests :) |
| 17:16 | <smaug____> | hey, only 7 years |
| 17:17 | <gsnedders> | smaug____: they're from years before that, given by seven years ago Presto was dead |
| 17:17 | <smaug____> | I see |
| 17:17 | <smaug____> | even older |
| 17:17 | <smaug____> | (are we getting old? No no no.) |
| 18:02 | <jgraham> | I think it's supposed to be about whether window.name is preserved after a cross-origin navigation |
| 18:02 | <jgraham> | It obviously doesn't work at all as written |
| 18:10 | <Domenic> | Are we sure the file isn't included from some other file? |
| 18:10 | <Domenic> | Looks like no... |
| 18:49 | <jgraham> | Those tests were never finished; the project got cancelled... |
