Hi Hugh

I had this exact same problem at TPAC.  What is your serialization?  WebID
requires turtle to be supported (which I handnt done).  Took me a few
minutes to fix it.

You could use any23.org to make a turtle file

if (stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"], "application/turtle")) {
  header("Content-Type: application/turtle");
}

And something like the above.

Does that help?
