XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML mimetype

[Johannes]

Hey,

when I set up the xsl-File for my repository, I get the following
error:

XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML mimetype

What can I do about this? Do I have to update my apache2.conf?

Already tried to update /etc/mime.types with

text/xml xml xsl

this drives me nuts.

cheers

Very strange. I haven't seen this before. Is the message shown in the
browser? I'm not sure if Apache reads your /etc/mime.types. Apache's
mod_mime might have its own mapping file. Have you tried AddType? See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype

Some other people had this problem as well:

http://www.theerrormessage.com/2007/06/08/an-xslt-stylesheet-does-not-have-an-xml-mimetype/

but this did not fix my error.

i tried AddType text/xml xslt
and AddType text/xsl xslt, aswell

cheers

Have you checked what the Content-Type header value is now? Is it set at all?

in my mod_mime i added:

AddType text/xsl xsl xslt

and it still says:

"Error loading stylesheet: An XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML
mimetype:"


page source says:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="repos-web/view/repos.xslt"?>
<!DOCTYPE svn [
<!ELEMENT svn (index)>
<!ATTLIST svn version CDATA #REQUIRED
href CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT index (updir?, (file | dir)*)>
<!ATTLIST index name CDATA #IMPLIED
path CDATA #IMPLIED
rev CDATA #IMPLIED

<!ELEMENT updir EMPTY>
<!ELEMENT file EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST file name CDATA #REQUIRED
href CDATA #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT dir EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST dir name CDATA #REQUIRED

]>
...

thanks for helping me!

cheers

fixed!

solution was:

* apache2's >>mod_mime<< must be running

* ensure that this line is in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mime.conf
TypesConfig /etc/mime.types

* ensure that this line in /etc/mime.types
application/xml xml xls xslt

* add the following line after "SVNIndexXSLT "/repos-web/view/
repos.xslt" ":
ModMimeUsePathInfo on
(this interprets files according to their extension..)

* should work now...

when directly called reposURL/repos-web/view/repos.xslt and right
click/View Page Info gives you:
Type: application/xml
(before it was: "Type: text/plain")

Great that you solved it. I've never seen the need for
ModMimeUsePathInfo before. The config in mime.conf is usually
sufficient.

The mime type you see in View Page Info is, now that the transform
works, the output type from the XSLT. To see the actual http headers
curl is a good tool: forr example "curl -I
http://localhost/repos-web/view/repos.xsl".

Thanks man for the hint with curl (did not know that).

setting mime type in the repository via property svn:mime-type is also
possible...

Hello all,

An XSLT stylesheet does not have an XML mimetype: Is this a kind of security vulnerability?

Please describe in details if this is an web app security issue.

Thanks,
