Bug 199861 – Web Inspector: application/xml content not shown

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

[Olivier Blin]

application/xml content from XHR requests is not shown in the inspector.
In the network request preview tab, this error message is displayed instead: "An error occurred trying to load the resource."

application/xml content should be treated as text, since application/xml is the standard mimetype for XML content.
Apache serves XML content with the application/xml mimetype by default.

r=me, nice catch!  If need someone else to cq+ (or r+ again), just let me know.

We already have a mapping above for "text/xml" (>173), so please move just this line to be after that.

This shouldn't be added to this `if`, as it doesn't apply to the comment.  If anything, I'd restructure a bit of this function:
```js
    let extension = WI.fileExtensionForMIMEType(mimeType);
    if (extension === "xml")
        return true;

    // Various script/JSON mime types.
    if (extension === "js" || extension === "json")
        return true;

    // Various media text mime types.
    if (extension === "m3u8" || extension === "m3u")
        return true;
```

Ok, even if content with application/xml mimetype does not really belong to the "Document" group.

Done
