If not, you can easily set the client to palm the unknown mimetype off to an externall application. smile I.E, as always, is an absolute waste of space in this regard. big_smile

It's in the RFC's. I always use those for basing a decision on. smile

$accept_tag = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']) ? strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']) : '';

if (isset($accept_tag) && strpos($accept_tag, 'application/xml') !== false)
{
    [ code ]
}

The strtolower is used over stripos due to the latter only being available in PHP5 upwards. If you use your code above, (which appears fine too), I would add a strtolower on the tag before exploding it. smile

if(empty($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']) || !in_array('application/xml', explode(',', $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']))
//No HTTP_ACCEPT header or no application/xml support, use text/xml
else
//We can use application/xml

About application/rss+xml: http://duncanmackenzie.net/blog/applica … fault.aspx

I know the article is really old, but Wikipedia still shows "(Registration Being Prepared)" for the MIME type.

And for RSS probably application/rss+xml

RSS and Atom - application/xml and XML - text/xml? I'll commit the changes to SVN depending on your answers smile

True. I was forgetting about that potential problem area. big_smile

As far as I know, the proper solution to handle this is to check whether or not the browser supports application/xhtml, then set the page type consequently. The resulting page may still fail at some validators, but the fault will be on the validator's side, because it doesn't send out a proper list of its supported page types.

That is the preferable way to do it.

The mimetype, application/xml, would only be applied for the RSS/Atom feeds. smile Besides, if 1.3 truly is XHTML compliant, then that shouldn't be a problem in any area of the forum.

I have this on my site, I just can't access the FTP from work. Will check later if still needed.

Text/xml will at least display the content within the browser if no feed reader or such like is registered for that protocol. It's horses for courses.
