Attach the following code:

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml')">

Something like this should work if you have a DTML Method to_xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dtml-in "objectValues('ESPPackage')" sort=title>
<dtml-var to_xml>
</dtml-in>
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml')">

Place the to_xml in the ESPPackage ZClass
