I wonder why he makes a distinction between the MIME types application/xml and text/xml.
An XML document of the former type is parsed for the <?xml encoding="..." ?> tag, but the latter isn't?
I always thought that application/xml and text/xml could be used interchangeably. Is my assumption wrong or is his process flawed?
- thristian 16y agoWhat you're missing is that text/xml is specially handled (some might say, 'broken') by RFC 3023: http://annevankesteren.nl/2005/03/text-xml http://annevankesteren.nl/2005/03/text-xml
