barnabywalters tommorris_: while I think of it, regarding something you mentioned a few days ago about wanting to use Accept headers in image tags: most browsers already do that for you (as authors telling browsers what to accept would be backwards) BUT there are some caveats with old browsers
#
barnabywalters I seem to remember old versions of Safari and FF rank image/png *higher* than text/html in their conneg headers
#
barnabywalters no idea what IE does, and probably best not to ask
#
barnabywalters regardless, it would be great to be able to write <img src="http://tommorris.org"> and have automatic favicons/profile images
#
aaronpk that would be awesome
#
aaronpk looks like Chrome sends Accept: */* unfortunately
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: in <img> tags? damn :(
#
friedcell1 barnabywalters: yep, I'm having problems with their Acceprt: */* too
#
friedcell1 the annoying thing is that if you don't send them an image
#
friedcell1 it'll complain in console that it got something that it doesn't accept
#
barnabywalters heh — it should have been more specific then ;)
#
aaronpk yea it says "Resource interpreted as Image but transferred with MIME type text/html"
#
barnabywalters that’s really annoying. I would have thought all modern browsers send sensible conneg headers
#
aaronpk in theory it should even be able to specify the desired width/height based on the width and height attributes of the image tag
#
barnabywalters aaronpk: *drools*
#
barnabywalters adds chrome’s */* img accept header to the MDN content negotiation page
#
tommorris_ barnabywalters: I might do just that. ;-)
#
tommorris_ I'll add a conneg header for / ;)
#
tommorris_ could do conneg for PDF too. with wkhtmltopdf, the server could render a pretty PDF and send it.
#
barnabywalters tommorris_: It’s got to be worth a try, provided you don’t mind people using old browsers getting the image version instead of the HTML :/
#
barnabywalters tommorris_: earlier today I added conneg for icalendar format to my notes. I’m going to do the same with my contact details on my homepage
#
barnabywalters so http://waterpigs.co.uk/index.vcf will result in a vcard
