No support for WMLC mimetype or files

[Alex Tanner-2]

Using Wmlbrowser 0.7.20 and Iceweasel  with UA String: "Mozilla/5.0
(X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070310
Iceweasel/2.0.0.3 (Debian-2.0.0.3-1)"  , there is no support for the
"compiled WML" (wmlc) file or mimetype.
Some WAP sites generate compiled WML pages, for example the code below
- using "Emacs" control chars) - that was generated from a PHP script:
-

^A^Dj^Nwap.o2.co.uk/^@^?,<E7>U^Cindex^@6^CSuccess^@^A`^CThanks for

When trying to open the above page, Wmlbrowser didn't recognise the
format, so the browser's open/save dialog popped up instead of the
page. Saving the above code with a ".wml" extension and dragging into
the browser window produces the following output "XML Parsing Error:
not well-formed
Location: file:///home/alex/Desktop/quizentry.wml
Line Number 13, Column 45".

When the above code is decompiled using the "wmld" Linux application, the below
WML page is produced, which can then be loaded and displayed correctly
by Wmlbrowser: -

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">

</wml>

Will support for WMLC ever be added to the Wmlbrowser plugin?

I've no plans for it. If anyone wants to submit a patch I'll take a look
at it.
