ok - I implemented a servlet to serve the sitemap as text/plain (I am
loading the file into an array of bytes then calling):
resp.setContentType("text/plain");
resp.getOutputStream().write(bytes);
If I call the servlet manually I see the output I expect but if I feed
the servlet path to google webmaster tools I still get --> Sitemap is
HTML
Trying with both XMl and TXT plain text ... starting to lose hope! :)
