OK, being precise: Unless the client specifies that one single mime type (and no other), I want to reject it with an error. Equally if no mime type is specified I'll refuse to serve a response other than an error. but the server is pretty much allowed to return whatever it wants (or a 406, at the server's discretion). If the client doesn't like a response type of application/xml, too bad for the client. Exactly what I'm after. Is a filter the right TC tool for that Charles? regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ.
