NN4 is able to display .js files (JavaScript files which are served by http servers with content type application/x-javascript) when you use the view-source protocol e.g. view-source:http://home.t-online.de/home/martin.honnen/javascript/utilities.js When I do the same with Mozilla M18 it tells me it doesn't know how to handle the content type. For JavaScript developers it is important to be able to view-source .js files with the browser and I don't understand why Mozilla shouldn't be able to display such a text file.

view-source:URL is giving me a not a registered protocol error today in win32, mac and linux.

Yes, this protocol is currently not implemented.

view-source ->pollmann/radha

Bill, could thid possibly be yours?

added RFE to summary.

Back to netlib - I don't do view-source. Please help me find an appropriate owner for this bug, thanks! (CC'ing Harish)

-->ben@netscape.com based on Bugzilla component description.

This bug is about implementation of the view-source: URI scheme. It is therefore a networking bug, as I understand it. It certainly doesn't live in XP Apps :-) Of course, someone from networking could just review the Protozilla code (bug 68702) and then we could perhaps use that to sort this out. Gerv

Or perhaps this should be made a duplicate of bug 15372? Bug 74855 also discusses the problem of view-source: not working when activated from JavaScript.
