Midori loads Gmail in HTML view by default

[Satchit Bhogle]

Application: Midori 0.3.6

While accessing Gmail, Midori loads the HTML view by default. There appears to be no option to load standard view, and Midori is classified as an "unsupported browser". I need hardly tell you that HTML view is ugly and undesirable.

Set the browser to identify itself as Safari: Preferences -> Network -> Identify as Safari. This may solve the problem.

This is a bug in Gmail, not Midori. Spoof as another browser (as mentioned above) and it'll work fine.

seems webkit guys figured out that its not midori indent is a problem, but combination Safari+linux. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69115

Id leave this bug open to try out Martin like patch. We can say that we are Midori, safari like browser running undex osx.

Most interesting part of the patch is

 - DEFINE_STATIC_LOCAL(const String, staticUA, (makeString("Mozilla/5.0 (", webkitPlatform(), webkitOSVersion(), ") AppleWebKit/", uaVersion) +
+ DEFINE_STATIC_LOCAL(const String, staticUA, (makeString("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7; en_US) "
+ "(", webkitPlatform(), webkitOSVersion(), ") AppleWebKit/", uaVersion) +

Christian, what do you think about hiding OS?

So the proposal is:
 - Always pretend to be Safari
 - Cloak as Mac OS X unless Windows

Maybe we want to call this one "Automatic" and retain "Midori" as a genuine string?

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

I introduced Automatic as the default option which right now is the same as Safari. Genuine Midori remains available as "Midori", it also disables quirks built-in to WebKit.

Technically "genuine" is the new value, so that all users choosing Midori before now get Automatic.
