Specifying the Web Map Service (WMS) version in a GetCapabilities request by appending '&version=1.1.0' or '&version=1.1.1' sets the content type to 'application/vnd.ogc.ws_xml' in the response header. ArcGIS for Server 1.0.0 sets the content type to 'text/xml'. Browsers can natively read 'text/html' but do not understand the 'application/vnd.ogc.ws_xml' content type, resulting in inconsistency when reading the capabilities document.
