I was reading the XML spec on the way to work today (sometimes traffic jams combined with a PalmV are a real blessing :)) and realised that my Apache XML charset sniffer might be in error. By default it returns application/xml as the mime type, but it returns it as: application/xml; charset=xyz Which now, according to everything I know about http and now the XML spec seems wrong. If I'm returning application/xml I shouldn't return a charset at all - that's up to the end application. I should only return a charset if the user wants to return text/xml. Is that the consensus on this list? Does returning a charset for application/xml do any harm? Does it do any good?
