[dev] problem with latest "accept: */*" code

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting Eric Rostetter <eric.rostetter@physics.utexas.edu>:
 
| Some browsers, which are kind of broken IMHO, give the accept string of
| 
| Accept: */*
| 
| saying they accept everything with equal preference.  This is, IMHO, a
| broken browser.  But since this broken browser class includes MSIE on
| Mac, it is a rather important class of broken browsers...

Suprisingly enough (heh heh), this is the same response from MSIE on 
Windows.  This is why I changed the code in the first place (since it broke 
image viewing in IMP).

I am thinking that HTTP_ACCEPT is not really a hell of a lot of help on 
MSIE browsers.  Should we disable HTTP_ACCEPT for IE?  Or only use accept 
if it returns something other than */*?  In the meantime, I'll fix what you 
reported (which is a bug, BTW, rather than a problem with the current 
logic).
