#4466: Serve application/xhtml+xml if browser compliant
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Reporter: werwin | Owner: anonymous
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: low | Milestone: 2.3 (trunk)
Component: Optimization | Version: 2.2.1
Severity: minor | Keywords: xhtml, application/xhtml+xml
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Right now, Wordpress serves up the blog's headers by using
{{{
get_option('html_type')
}}}
which as far as I know, can only be changed in the database. Changing it
to application/xhtml+xml would make sense, if the browsers would all
handle it, but they all don't, which is why right now we have XHTML
complaint pages served up as using the text/html mime type -- so
everything can be viewed if the browser can't view the
application/xhtml+xml mime type.
However, I propose a 'hack' around this issue, which should allow the
older browsers to still view the pages with the text/html mime type, and
the newer browsers to view the pages with the application/xhtml+xml mime
type.
I'm not quite sure about all the code and just did a quick hack, which
seems to work to my knowledge, so I won't include a diff, just a quick
example of wp-includes/classes.php (~ 171)
{{{
@header("Vary: Accept");
if (stristr($_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT], "application/xhtml+xml")) {
@header('Content-type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=' .
get_option('blog_charset'));
}else if (stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "W3C_Validator")) {
@header('Content-type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=' .
get_option('blog_charset'));
}else{
@header('Content-type: text/html; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'));
}
}}}
There are prettier and more proper ways, just throwing this option out
there to see what people think.
