Hi,
I'm a little rusty on this, but if I remember correctly most browsers
will first try to identify the content using the HTTP header and use
the HTTP body or even the file extension as second options. Some
browsers gave preference to file extension before body.
One way to find out what standard browser behavior 'should' be, is to
test against Internet Explorer and then do exactly the opposite ;-)
Cheers,
Jacobus

Hello,
only a quick question. I've to handle xml in the body of an HTTP response.
The problem is that http header can specify an encoding different from the
processing instruction, like here:
HTTP-Header:
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8
1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
2: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
3: "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
4:
5: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="de" lang="de">
6: <head>
7: <title>HTTP != XML</title>
8: </head>
9: <body>äöüÄÖÜß</body>
10: </html>
Which encoding has precedence? The http header or the processing instruction?
Many thanks
Best regards
Bartolomeo Nicolotti
