Hi

I've just installed Pod::POM::Web and i get problem with firefox and the
css/js display with the builtin webserver.

The pages were displayed whithout the style (Syntax coloring, etc...)
and without the clickable menu.

I tried firefox 1.5, firefox 2.0, with always this problem and at last I
try IE7 and it works !

With firebug I saw that the css was downloaded but not used.

After some tests I manage to temporarily fix it :
I edit the Web.pm and comment the following line in send_content sub :

$mime_type .= "; charset=$charset" if $charset;

which add the header charset ascii. Without the charset header, firefox
loads and display styles.

There seems that firefox doesn't like the ascii charset for stylesheets.

I also have a question / feature request :

I want to use Pod::POM::Web to display help of my app's modules and not
the system perl help.
At first, added my libraries path to @INC and I can browse in the
modules node.
Is it possible to generate pages and a reduce index for a specific paths
whitout taking @INC ?

Thanks for your support.

Thanks a lot for this bug analysis. Now I understand why chromatic did
not see the DHTML features of Pod::POM::Web when he wrote his report
(http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2007/05/cpan_module_review_podpo
mweb.html)

This was a regression bug introduced in v 1.05. Who would have guessed
that a Content-type: text/css with charset=ascii would be rejected by
Firefox ? But shame on me, it's true that I did not re-test v1.05 on
Firefox. Fixed now in v1.06, just uploaded to CPAN.

Good idea, I'll add an option for specifying the dirs (different from
@INC). First I thought it would be totally trivial and wanted to add
it in v1.06, but then I realised that the application relies on some
standard perl pages (like perldoc) for generating the TOC, so it needs
a little bit more thinking. Wait for the next relase.
