[Netsurf-develop] Behaviour with lack of content type

[David J. R. <dr...@dr...>]

What is the correct behaviour when no content type is returned by a 
site for a page? Should the browser default to text or HTML?

streetmap.co.uk returns a correct type of text/html for its title 
page, but entering a search results in a page with no content type 
which NetSurf renders as text. The same if a map page URL is dragged 
in from another browser.

Of course you'll have spotted its Microsoft shite.
