The W3C WSDL working group is talking about registering a MIME type for WSDL documents. Hasn't happened yet, but we expect to do so for WSDL 1.2.

What do you think of > making Axis return an HTTP header claiming the media type to be > "text/plain"? -1 to a quick and dirty patch, we should have a text/xml header because it is text/xml. Same for the responses to any soap methods called using GET. Mozilla will get better over time and there is no reason to lie for short term compatibility issues. +0 to making this a configurable option of axis, something like <parameter name="wsdl-mimetype" value="text/plain" /> Actually, does WSDL have/need its own mime type like application/wsdl+xml ? That way a proper WSDL viewer could bind to it? -steve
