Try using curl or wget, or the Firefox 'raw http headers' plugin to verify the content-type and other headers being served. For example, in wget, do "wget -O /dev/null -S http://yoururl/...";. Try this on both your original static file and on the new servlet. If they're actually serving up as text/plain, you need to use the contact mechanisms for Sitemaps to find out what's up. -Nick Johnson > > Trying with both XMl and TXT plain text ... starting to lose hope! :) > > On Aug 9, 12:25 pm, John_Idol <[email protected]> wrote: >> The other strange thing is that robots.txt is apparently being served >> correctly (no errors from webmaster tools) and being a txt I would >> expect the same error as my txt sitemap >> >> On Aug 9, 12:15 pm, John_Idol <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> >> > Ok, >> >> > I jst noticed I was doing the opposite of what you suggested, from the >> > doc: >> >> > To serve a file with a custom MIME type, make the file a resource file >> > instead of a static file, and create a servlet that serves the data >> > with the custom MIME type. >> >> > Does this mean I have to make my sistemaps resource files in the >> > appengine-web.xml and implement a servlet just to serve them as text? >> >> > On Aug 9, 12:12 pm, John_Idol <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> > > Hi Nick - thanks for your help, I tried with: >> >> > > <static-files> >> > > <include path="/**.xml" /> >> > > <include path="/**.txt" /> >> > > </static-files> >> >> > > in my appengine-web.xml but now I am getting errors on the otherpages: >> >> > > WARNING: Can not serve /index.htmldirectly.
