@Nick thanks for your help.
I tried with a firefox plugin - everything seems to be coming up as expected: http://www.wokhei.com/sitemaps/sitemap.xml --> Contet-type: text/plain http://www.wokhei.com/sitemaps/sitemap.xml --> Contet-type: application/xml With my servlet: http://www.wokhei.com/wokhei/serveSitemap?fileType=TXT --> Contet- type: text/plain http://www.wokhei.com/wokhei/serveSitemap?fileType=XML--> Contet-type: text/plain All I get from webmaster tool is -->Sitemap is HTML. I guess it's time to move this to the webmaster tools help forum.
