[STR New]

Try adding a printer using http://localhost:631/ with different browsers.


In Konqueror, clicking the "Add Printer" button results in a dialog asking
what I want to use or where I want to save "http://localhost:631/admin/,
Type: stream of data (server push)".

Telling it to open it in itself displays a few different versions of the
page, with --CUPS-MULTIPART lines in between.


In Arora (and probably other WebKit based browsers), the "Add Printer"
page is displayed with a --CUPS-MULTIPART line on top, it says "Looking
for printers", and never gets out of that state.


In lynx, I'm just offered to download data of type
multipart/x-mixed-replace.


Only Firefox seems to handle this the way cups expects.
