4037,do_robots() should not serve robots.txt as text/html,JeremyVisser,ryan,"=== Environment ===
WordPress SVN {{{/branches/2.1}}} rev 5096

Also affects {{{/trunk}}} (rev 5116) and WordPress MU {{{/tags/1.1.1}}}.

=== Details ===

In {{{wp-includes/functions.php}}}, the {{{do_robots()}}} function serves up the contents of a {{{robots.txt}}} file. If you try to view the file in a web browser, the line breaks will not show up properly. This is because the mime-type served is the default {{{text/html}}} which instructs the browser to parse the {{{robots.txt}}} file as HTML. This should not be the case.

{{{text/plain}}} is a good mime-type to use, and behaves correctly.

The attached patch will cause the function to serve {{{robots.txt}}} as {{{text/plain}}}.",defect (bug),closed,low,2.2,General,2.1.3,trivial,fixed,has-patch commit,
