All good thanks folks. I think that was just feedvalidator being picky. I still had an issue with iTunes though as they now require byte range support. That required changing the headers in Azure storage, which does support them but reports that it doesn’t if you’re on the old API.

Your server response header is setting the content type to text/xml but not the charset but and though that should be good enough for modern clients, that read the xml document encoding and honour it, some might still use the default us-ascii. It may be possible that the feed validator is is just being "picky". IIS should let you set the charset on that content type so the feed validates. https://forums.iis.net/t/1155439.aspx -- noonie On 1 March 2017 at 19:04, Greg Low (罗格雷格博士) <g...@greglow.com<mailto:g...@greglow.com>> wrote: But that still leaves the question on how to change that. It's just serving up a static xml file. How is the content type for that specified? And more importantly, where?

Either way, issue seems to be the header from the site. No idea where to set it. I'm suspecting that the lack of a value probably sends this as a default. Can't find ASCII mentioned anywhere in project files.

To me Greg’s problem looks like the server is sending a response block saying the content type is asci, then send an xml file which is utf-8. Would have to do old school spit out bytes to test as I doubt any text editor would permit the file to be saved as ascii as it would be invalid ascii file From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com<mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of David Connors Sent: Wednesday, 1 March 2017 2:55 PM To: ozDotNet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com<mailto:ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com>> Subject: Re: XML files served by Azure Websites On Wed, 1 Mar 2017 at 13:41 Bill McCarthy <bill.mccarthy.li...@live.com.au<mailto:bill.mccarthy.li...@live.com.au>> wrote: The file itself is utf-8, or unicode due to special characters in it, eg Lòpez So problem is not with the file. No, a UTF-8 stream is defined as such by a byte order marker at the start of the stream.
