Safari cannot detect Starred feed as an atom file

[gwire]

(This may be an issue for the specific hosted feedbin.com configuration, or the app?)

I wanted to add the feed of starred articles to the "Shared Links" feature of the Safari browser, but the browser won't recognise it as an atom file.

This is actually expected behaviour for Safari. The issue is that feedbin.com sets the following headers when requesting, e.g., https://feedbin.com/starred/example.xml:

 Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8
 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff

The registered MIME type for Atom is application/atom+xml, but it's usually enough to set it to xml and let the application work out that it's an Atom file. However, the nosniff option is explicitly telling the browser not to do this.

It would be great if either a) the content-type was specified as application/atom+xml or b) the nosniff option was dropped. Or both.

A nginx configuration for setting the mime type might look include:

location ~ /starred/.+\.xml {
  types { application/atom+xml xml; }
}

I vote that the Content-Type should be declared correctly ;-)
