Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html - Magento

Question

I\'m getting below error when uploading a new product image for my Magento shop.

Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type text/html
         


        

Answer 1

After a lot of research, I have found the problem is caused by a combination of things resulting in the server not knowing what type of document it is and getting mixed up between encoding types such as UTF-8 (or something like that)

So, in .htaccess, change the comments round so you have the following, giving a default character set of UTF-8.

############################################
## Prevent character encoding issues from server overrides
## If you still have problems, use the second line instead

    #AddDefaultCharset Off
    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

This stopped the correct error shown in google (thank you mr google): "resource interpreted as image but transferred with mime type text/html"

And the made the images show up in other browsers (where there was no error shown).
