We have a page on our site that is intended to return plain-text only -- no
html.
The page consists of a dtml method that calls a single External method
which, in turn, returns plain text read from a file.
The page is read by a small client that uses HTTP to access the site.
Since the file that the text comes from can be any file, it may, itself,
contain html code. We've found that, in certain cases,
if the plain text happens to include html tags, Zope will insert an empty
html header at the beginning of the page. It contains
only "<html><head></head>".
We've tried setting the content type in the RESPONSE header to "text/plain",
but it has no effect. Anyone know what's going
on and how we can suppress it?
