Hi, I remember we did some tricking around that in one of our projects. What we did was running a small routine (either handmade script or shell command, can't remember) which took the file and replaced the header so that it was recognized as a "usual xml" file by the subsequent step. If and how that works in you case... not sure. Your mileage may vary.

Dear webtest users and developers, I would like to use webtest for testing xml formatted excel files, especially with the verifyXPath feature. Unfortunately, the web application returns the xml excel with mime type application/msexcel which causes webtest to die when the verifyXPath step is executed. An error is thrown saying that the mime type needs to be either text/html or text/xml. I already found several posts about the same topic however none of the included a clear statement if there is some workaround available. It would be very interesting to know if one of you was able to solve this problem or if there is no way at all to circumvent this behaviour of webtest/htmlunit. Thank you very much in advance for your input! Regards, Michael Stephan
