[Qt-interest] QtWebKit content-type support

[Joel A. Iturra P.]

Hi David,

Looking for one rapid solution, I do this "temporal patch" that it seems
to work.

File:
qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.2/src/network/access/qnetworkrequest.cpp

Method:
void QNetworkHeadersPrivate::parseAndSetHeader(const QByteArray &key,
const QByteArray &value);

         if (value.isNull())
             cookedHeaders.remove(parsedKey);
         else
-            cookedHeaders.insert(parsedKey,
parseHeaderValue(parsedKey, value));
+            cookedHeaders.insert(parsedKey,
parseHeaderValue(parsedKey, value.toLower()));
     }
 }


But I do not know if this can cause any bad behavior in other context.

How can I test or get help for this ?


thanks
