[yast-devel] WebYaST: responding XML to an HTML request
Hi, a couple of service controllers return XML to an HTML request. This is usually done as respond_to do |format| format.html { render :xml => ... } #return xml only ... end As coded above, the HTTP reply header reports "text/html" with the reply body containing XML. This is wrong and not RESTful (can we say RESTless ? ;-)) The service should always respond with a resource representation that was requested from the client. If this is not possible, a default representation (i.e. json) should be choosen.

Um, and what's the correct implementation? Which modules handle that correctly?

Just remove the "format.html" line for now. Firefox will happily display XML then. Or provide a real HTML reply (e.g. for debugging purposes) Klaus --- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
