Use application/xml as the XML media type
-----------------------------------------
Key: JCR-1621
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1621
Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-webdav
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
As noted in JCR-1310, at least in jackrabbit-webapp but possibly also elsewhere
we should be using application/xml instead of text/xml as the content type when
serving XML over HTTP.
The text/xml type has been widely criticized because of character encoding
issues (see for example http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/21/dive.html), and
there has even been an attempt to officially deprecate text/xml because of
this. The application/xml type doesn't suffer from these issues, and is thus a
better choice when serving XML.
