[Zope] Re: Filesystem Page Template lowercase-ifying all my tags
An update - It appears as though this problem is due to the content-type being set inappropriately (probably text/html). I'm attempting to render XML, but each of the templates only contains a piece of my final output XML file; therefore, I don't have the '?xml ... ?' header in the file. From a perusal of the source for FSPageTemplate, this appears to be the only way to get the Content-Type set to 'text/xml'. Basically, I'm constructing a VERY large XML file using a python script that buffers writes to REQUEST.RESPONSE. The script calls the page templates, and then writes the rendered page templates to REQUEST.RESPONSE through the buffering mechanism. I have attempted adding .metadata files for each of my templates, with the following content: ---8-- [default] content_type=text/xml ---8-- It didn't work. I'm still at a loss for how to make this all happen, I can't have my XML tags get lower-case-ified. Please help!

Re: [Zope] Re: Filesystem Page Template lowercase-ifying all my tags
I found a way to hack around it. It's definitely ugly, though. Basically, I have a python script that calls page templates and buffers the results as it writes out to REQUEST.RESPONSE. Each page template is *just a portion* of my final output XML file. Since all of the scripts and templates that I'm using are read from the filesystem, they are the filesystem-equivalents to the ZODB-stored objects. Specifically, I discovered that the FSPageTemplate from CMFCore will set the content_type attribute on the object to 'text/xml' if the file begins with '?xml'. Otherwise, when it sees the xml-or-html-looking content, it assumes a content_type of 'text/html', which lowercases all the tags. So I added an xml header to all of my page templates, and I strip it back out inside the python script that calls the template (so that I don't have the XML header repeated over and over in my final output XML file). Ugly, yes, but it does work. fm On 10/26/05, Fred Drake [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 10/26/05, Floyd May [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It appears as though this problem is due to the content-type being set inappropriately (probably text/html).
