Re: using the http server to return xml
I think my problem with setting mime types originally was due to basing my code on the initial hello world example, where the html function is called bare inside project.l. In this model the call to server is on the command line. I'm guessing this means that Mime remains whatever it was when server started and my setting of mime was taking place in a forked process for the request, and hence was not actually affecting anything. I am guessing here as I havn't read the http code in detail yet. Now that I'm doing somthing similer to the sample application and having a app.l which does all the loading and calls server from inside picoLisp code I suspect things will work correctly. I still don't quite follow what curl is supposed to be showing is wrong with my use of http header. I'm installing it now and will dig further. I'm determined to get this thing working right.

(had to modify the definition of *Mimes directly as calling (mime xml text/xml 1) didn't seem to have any effect. Though this is not central to your question, it is strange because it should work. Where in your code did you call 'mime'? Should be ok anytime after lib/http.l is loaded. Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: using the http server to return xml
Thanks Alex, the following fixed the problem. As the bulk of my app will be sending xml files arround like this I guess I can make these settings globally for the application. I'm not entierly sure what the implications are. but I suspect their not too important providing my documents don't grow to some ridiculous size. regards Konrad.

In which context is 'mydata2' called? If the connection is not closed for some reason, you could try to call (flush) after sending the data. 2. If the initial request from the browser was HTTP/1.1, then the global '*Http1' is set to '1', causing the picoLisp server to initiate a chunked transfer. You could try (let (*Http1 0 *Chunked NIL) (httpHead text/xml; charset=utf-8 1) ) Cheers, - Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: using the http server to return xml
Hi Konrad, xml files arround like this I guess I can make these settings globally for the application. I'm not entierly sure what the implications are. It is possible to set '*Http1' and '*Chunked' globally, but you must sure that this takes place each time after a HTTP GET or POST request, because they are set internally by the server (in '_htHead') according to the type of request.
