[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#600069: chromium doesn't work well with xajax-based sites

[Igor Goryachev]

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 7.0.544.0~r61416-1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze

Chromium fails for some web-sites which use xajax (?). It raises error
dialog with the following message: "Error: the XML response that was
returned from the server is invalid."

To reproduce:
1. Go to URL http://salapin.ru/album855.html
2. Scroll down and click any photo thumbnail at the bottom.

See http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=58865 for more
details.

The same behaviour could be also reproduced with older chromium-browser
from squeeze (6.0.472.62~r59676-1).

It seems to be a Debian-specific bug, Chromium from Ubuntu doesn't have
this defect (can't check this myself, it is information from one of my
friends).

BTW, other WebKit browsers such as midori and uzbl also have this issue.
