Description

RSS feeds from the RecentChanges on any MoinMoin wiki, are served with the MIME type "text/html", even though it is not an HTML page. It should instead have the MIME type "application/rss+xml" or something like that. This issue can be verified even on this wiki (the one you're reading right now). It is not a critical problem, but it does mess up some RSS readers.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to the RecentChanges on any MoinMoin wiki

  2. Click the Feed icon in your browser

  3. Verify the feed with FeedValidator

  4. See problem: 'Feeds should not be served with the "text/html" media type'

Example

Let's validate the RecentChanges feed from MoinMoin's own wiki:

URL: http://moinmo.in/4ct10n/rss_rc/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc&unique=1&ddiffs=1

Go to: http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmoinmo.in%2F4ct10n%2Frss_rc%2FRecentChanges%3Faction%3Drss_rc%26unique%3D1%26ddiffs%3D1
