Summary [SOUP] Fails to open local HTML file when it looks too much like an XHTML file

(this was originally reported in bug 230797) 1. Create a file called /tmp/hello.html with the following contents: <!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" style=""> <head><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></head> <body>Hello, world</body> </html> 2. Try to open it with MiniBrowser (I'm using WebKitGTK 2.36.0, glib 2.72.0 and libsoup 2.74.2) $ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.0/MiniBrowser /tmp/hello.html 3. The following error message appears (because the <meta> tag is not closed): "This page contains the following errors: error on line 3 at column 81: Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 3 and head" 4. Now edit the <html> tag and change the order of the attributes: <html style="" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> This one opens just fine. Some additional notes: * Removing the style attribute results in the same error shown in point 3. * WebKit can display the "broken" file just file if it's served over HTTP (likely because of the "Content-type: text/html" header returned by the server)
