Changing a page's MIME type in LiveServer

[Jonathan W]

Does anyone know how to change the MIME-type of a page in LiveServer.
I want to present a Comma Separated Value page with MIME type text/
csv. I've tried:

<rde-dm:attribute mode="write" attribute="request:rde-rd:content-type"
value="text/csv" tag="notag"/>

but it had no effect; indeed "request:rde-rd:content-type" doesn't
have any value normally.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Our next attempt has been to specify the MIME type in the XSL
transformation:

<xsl:output method="text" media-type="text/csv" ... />

However when viewing the page in Firefox, the MIME type is still text/
html, so that doesn't appear to be working.

We're using the default WebLet, xchg.

Any more ideas?

Jonathan,

You should be using the "rdeResponseMimetype" pre-defined "request"
attribute. I've confirmed in my DS 10.0 env. that the following
accomplishes what you want:

<rde-dm:attribute mode="write" attribute="request:rdeResponseMimetype"

value="text/csv" tag="notag" />

Using Firefox's developer toolbar, I see the following response
headers - notice that "Content-Type" is "text/csv":

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:42:48 GMT
Expires: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:42:48 GMT
lsrequestid: 493
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: text/csv;charset=ISO-8859-1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

200 OK

Enjoy!

Great, thanks! I should have looked further down the list of pre-
defined attributes rather than stopping at the first occurrence of
"MIME"!
