[Zope-CMF] Returning XML documents from CMF

[Marc van Grootel (Mendez Nederland)]

Hi Jon,

Good thinking. RSS outputs the following at the top:

  Content-type: text/xml

  <?xml version="1.0"?>

This works.

I'm still learning so I did not know this before i was
under the impression that this line 

  <dtml-call REQUEST.set('Content-Type','text/xml')> 

was needed to get XML but by looking at the HTTP headers I found that 
this call doesn't work in regular Zope either. Zope just does it's own 
mime-type mapping based on the extension, is that correct? However, the 
solution at the top DOES work and seems to override the mapping based on
the extension. I'm sure I found this dtml-call trick somewhere but it does 
not work. I always had document names ending with .xml which set
the content-type automagically so I never noticed that it didn't work.

I guess i have to study some of the docs on this ;)

Thanks

--Marc
