Dear list,

is there any deeper logic behind the fact that XMLResponseWriter
is sending CONTENT_TYPE_XML_UTF8="application/xml; charset=UTF-8" ?

I would assume (and also most browser) that for XML Output
to receive "text/xml" and not "application/xml".

Or do you want the browser to call and XML-Editor with the result?

Best regards, Bernd

Never use text/xml, that overrides any encoding declaration inside the XML file.
