Google Chrome prefers XHTML
written by Sergio Fernández at 07h53
The blogosphere is restless about Chrome, the new open source browser developed by Google. But I´m not going to discuss its software design, its performance or its usability, there are many people talking about it. I´ll talk about a technical detail: Google Chrome prefers XHTML (application/xhtml+xml) instead the classic HTML (text/html).
How to know it? As probably you know in HTTP there is a header called Accept to specify the format types which are acceptable. Requesting this service developed by Richard Cyganiak with Chrome, we can get the value of that header:
text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml, text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
Good to know it… Microsoft should learn.
