MacOS Safari renders the mobile site, should render root site #4

MacOS Safari 16.5.1 renders the mobile site, should render desktop site.

This doesn't happen, for example, on MacOS Chrome 117.

Hmm, this problem doesn't happen when viewing the site locally with pyserver.py, but it does happen on the live site browsing to https://planttracer.com

Some notes to guide further investigation:

Browsers ignore the extension; they only consider the Mime-Type set in the HTTP header. We aren't setting the Mime-Type in the header and not in a meta tag. However, the document itself begins:

(base) webapp % curl --dump-header /tmp/head https://planttracer.com/plantliteracy | head                                    (audit-page)webapp

Mime type inference is apparently called "MIME Sniffing" and is discussed here: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/256357/is-mime-sniffing-still-something-to-protect-against-with-modern-browsers-with-x
