There's an implicit assumption here that a file ending in .xml will be marked as text/xml. application/xml, or some such so that the XML encoding rules apply. It's been a while, but doesn't Windows provide some sort of system wide MIME types mappings that can be configured somewhere? If not we could always make this test one of those that deliberately accesses the IBiblio web server (like the tests for accept-lang) so I can make sure it's served with the correct MIME type, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo@metalab.unc.edu XML in a Nutshell 3rd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian3/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596007647/cafeaulaitA/ref=nosim
