• Component: Web Inspector (Deprecated)
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Screenshot of Apple.com/support inspected by Web Inspector with actual source code window behind the browser window.

All HTML source code viewed through the Web Inspector will show an HTML5 doctype instead of the doctype actually specified. 

Tested with various doctypes with the same results. This has been a problem for at least the last several builds.

For example, Apple.com/support specifies HTML 4.01 transitional. However, the Web Inspector shows an HTML doctype on the first line of the HTML source code. 

Screenshot attached.

I wonder if we are showing the inspector's doctype and not the page's…

[Timothy Hatcher]

I see the correct doctype in Safari 4.0.4.

I think Adam is working on a fix for this class of bug.  AppEngine (which is where the queue status server http://webkit-commit-queue.appspot.com/ is hosted) commonly gives us back 500 errors.  We should silently ignore them and try again.

This is a different kind of bug.  Basically, by piping the status-host to bugzilla-tool, you made it possible for it to throw a new kind of error.  We need to update the error handling to take that into account.

Heh. Thanks for heads up. This is a second time my config goes crazy.
