Dear Scalable Vector Graphics Working Group,
The following table is a list of URLs that end in .svgz as found by
the Google search engine (truncated to fit into this mail) which MIME
type and Content-Encoding the web server reports and whether the data
starts with 0x1f 0x8b which is a fairly good indication for gzip. Per
host name only one document has been checked. Requests looked similar
to the following:
GET /... HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip, x-gzip
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 ...
TE: deflate,gzip;q=0.3
Connection: TE, close
Range: bytes=0-15
Host: ...
I guess for about %1 the content provider did not intend the document
to be processed as SVG image (misconfigured error pages, for example)
but for most of the documents they are either not XML at all due to a
wrong MIME type or they are not well-formed due to the missing or mal-
formed Content-Encoding header. The status of the text/xml documents
is not clear to me, the SVG 1.1 Recommendation does not explicitly re-
quire implementations to consider such document SVG documents...
It follows that SVG 1.1 implementations cannot fully conform to the
SVG 1.1 Recommendation or other W3C documents such as the TAG finding
on Authoritative Metadata http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/mime-respect
even if an implementor agreed that "silent recovery from error" was a
bad thing, the best he could do would be to offer a alert on the first
occurence of improper content with an option not to bother the user
again which the user would choose due to the amount of improper content
at which point caring about the user's consent would not only be point-
less, but rather harmful as it generates noise which likely causes that
users pay less attention to real security risks such as when downloading
untrusted binaries.
What are W3C's plans to improve this situation, e.g. by making normative
corrections to the relevant specifications, revising findings, outreach
efforts, or implementations of quality control tools?
I could not find updated information in the SVG 1.2 Working Draft, there
is only section 16.1 which states
SVG implementations that load external resources through protocols
(such as HTTP) that support transfer encoding, must accept external
script files with gzip compression ("Transfer-Encoding: gzip" for
HTTP).
which hardly contributes to an improvement as none of the documents I've
checked had any other Transfer-Encoding than "chunked" and it would be
difficult to convince common software to use Transfer-Encoding: gzip...
Please revise the SVG 1.2 Working Draft with proper information on these
matters.
URI MIME Type Encoding gz?
