This test needs to be fixed, so that it doesn't say "TEST COMPLETE" before actual test output.

It uses an unusual version of test rig, js-test.js instead of js-test-pre.js plus js-test-post.js. I'm not sure why we have that in the tree.

> LayoutTests/resources/js-test.js:427
> +function shouldBeEqualToNumber(a, b)

Seems count-productive to add helpers to js-test.js, but not to js-test-pre.js.

If js-test.js is our new best friend, someone should send an e-mail to webkit-dev announcing that.

This is good test coverage.

One important case that's missing is how <meta http-equiv> is handled. Please add a test for that (Mozilla documentation says how it should work).

> Source/WebCore/dom/Document.cpp:1397
> +void Document::setMimeType(const String& mimeType)

Style mistake: should be setMIMEType().

It's unfortunate that we have such a generic sounding function that is only expected to be used in unusual circumstances (i.e. when the document has no loader).

> Source/WebCore/dom/Document.cpp:1402
> +String Document::contentType() const

I know that this is how the API is named, but this is not content type, this is MIME type. These are different, e.g. "text/html; charset=UTF-8" is a valid value for Content-Type HTTP header field, while the MIME type is just "text/html".

You can have a different name in implementaion with ImplementedAs IDL attribute.

This looks almost like random behavior. What are the cases where we have neither m_mimeType nor a documentLoader? Can they be havndled more systemically (perhaps by setting m_mimeType)?

> Source/WebCore/dom/Document.h:1410
> +    // Mime-type of the document in case it was cloned or created by XHR.

Style: MIME type, not Mime-type.

I think the intention is that in the future for almost all tests we can use that simpler version instead of pre/post. I like that idea, but maybe it’s buggy. Definitely don’t want TEST COMPLETE before the test results!

So it could have a different name. Like overrideMIMEType maybe?

No need for the String() here.

>> +    return String("application/xml");
>

If this really is correct behavior, then it should be done:

    return ASCIILiteral("application/xml");

No reason to call String constructor explicitly, and using ASCIILiteral will improve speed.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Document.cpp:3179
> +    setMimeType(other.contentType());

Is this really right? Seems like it will override the MIME type in the new document in a way that is not desirable. Do we have test cases that cover this?

Changing the order of iframes isn't the proper fix here.

If text/html is the first iframe, its event still fires
at the end. It seems it isn't guaranteed that the events
fire in order. I don't know if it is normal or a bug.

Assuming that it isn't a bug, we should order the PASS messages once 
we caught all of the events in order to have deterministic test.

Some code paths that are not explicitly handled, and not tested here are documents created with DOMParser or XSLT. We'll probably get an incorrect result in some cases because of fallback to suggestedMIMEType().

> LayoutTests/ChangeLog:32

There is no need to copy these files, they are available to http tests at /js-test-resources/.

Can you please also test some non-default type, e.g. application/xml+foobar?

> +        tests[--expectedMessagesCount]=e.data;

Inconsistent coding style - we don't use braces in either case in WebKit.

> LayoutTests/http/tests/dom/document-contentType-meta.html:10
> +  shouldBeEqualToString('document.getElementsByTagName("META")[0].content', document.getElementsByTagName("META")[0].content);

This compares a string to itself.

What did you intend to test here? I think that the META will be ignored, because file:// documents are handled as if they had an HTTP header, which always wins.

I asked you to test this case in earlier review, however I don't know exactly how it should work.

> LayoutTests/http/tests/dom/document-contentType-xhr.html:33

Why the double underscore?

This is tricky, and should not be necessary. I think that you are working around a weird behavior that occurs when using testRunner.waitUntilDone() with resources/js-test-post-async.js.

The correct solution is to have both js-test-pre.js and js-test-post.js, set window.jsTestIsAsync, and call finishJSTest() when done. It may be that js-test.js alone works, too.

> LayoutTests/http/tests/dom/document-contentType.html:7
> +<iframe data-mt="text/css" src="resources/dummy.css"></iframe>

It would be nice to use a descriptive name in place of "mt" (something that would spell out "expected content type"). 

Besides, is it expected media type, content type, or MIME type?

> LayoutTests/http/tests/dom/document-contentType.html:34
> +    if (window.jsTestIsAsync) {

This test isn't async, why test for that? I don't think that you need anything in this block.

It's good to have a comment, yet it would be even better to have a descriptive name. The comment is not available where the variable is used, so the name can confuse readers.

m_overriddenMIMEType would be fine.

The test has been fixed, it will not compare the expected result with itself.

The underscore removed. It was just a naming style, what I use sometimes.

The js-test-pre.js changed to js-test.js, and yes, I had tried to create a workaround for a behavior that occurs when using testRunner.waitUntilDone() with resources/js-test-post-async.js. As you suggested, I modified the test, so I removed the the testComplete method, and added the finishJSTest() call.

mt means mimetype, so I renamed it.

This block has been removed, and simply called the finishJSTest() after the for cycle.

No need for "this->" here.

Seems strange to put the new "mimeType" function between responseMIMEType and setResponseMIMEType, which were previously right next to each other. Can we find a better place for this?

Also, it’s confusing that we have a function named responseMIMEType and a second function named mimeType. Maybe we need a longer name for the new function.

Why is this conditional? What’s the downside to always calling overrideMIMEType unconditionally?

I changed it to isNull.

removed.

Changed it too.

I replaced it, now it's after the setResponseMIMEType function. Could you possibly suggest a better name for this simple getter?

It was a previous fix, not necessary any more.

I have three thoughts about the name:

1) In the context of this class, the key issue is that there are multiple of these types. There’s the type from the response and the type that the loader has determined we should use for the document. Since both exist, neither function should be named just “type”, “content type” or “MIME type” and lack an additional clarifying modifier. So maybe one is the responseMIMEType and the other is the computedContentType or the currentContentType. Think of words that would distinguish the two. One property of the latter type is that it changes as we parse more of the document, perhaps? I don’t really know and it’s worth a little research.

2) Another way to resolve the ambiguity from (1) above would be to remove some of the DocumentLoader functions like requestURL and responseURL and responseMIMEType and instead have callers get the request and response directly and get the information from there. If that was true, then I’d be comfortable naming the function contentType since there would not be a responseMIMEType function in the same class. This would also probably improve the interface to the document loader class by cutting down the number of separate functions.

3) I personally can’t stand using the acronym MIME so often. I’d prefer to call these things content type rather than MIME type. But that’s not specific to this function. And perhaps there are other “types of types” that this would make confusing.

I don’t think this comment is helpful. We don’t want to comment every function with the standard it comes from.

> Source/WebCore/dom/Document.idl:108
> +    // DOM 4

I’ve heard there is no standard any more named “DOM 4”, so we might just want to leave this comment out.

> Source/WebCore/loader/DocumentLoader.h:121
> +        const String& mimeType() const;

Please consider changing the name as I requested. I gave my rationale in a comment in the bug.
