RE: [xml-dev] Why does my browser treat the XML Schema document ata URL

["Rushforth, Peter" <Peter.Rushforth@NRCan-RNCan.gc.ca>]

Rich,

 

I understood you perfectly.  Maybe there should be a content-type for a W3C XML Schema document?

 

The W3C web server serves it as xml, and through sleight of hand (xml-stylesheet), as html too.  The normal config for a web server

that wanted to serve two or more formats for a resource would be to negotiate for the format and serve it as application/xml *and* text/html.

 

At least according my understanding of Representational State Transfer http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm#sec_5_2

Peter,

> It's just that there's no media type apart from application/xml to go with it.  

Exactly what I said when I answered Roger. There is no content-type for a W3C XML Schema document.  So a properly configured web server can do nothing but say "it's XML."

Sorry if I was too terse or not clear.
