dynamic sitemap dependent on response mimetype ?
Hy;
Can i overcome following problem:
Within a match i read or aggregate some XML-sources from another
server, e.g.:
<map:match pattern="mypage">
<map:generate src="http://myserver/mypage.xml"/>
<map:transform src="mypage.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type = "html"/>
</map:match>
Now suppose, myserver does not send back the content of
mypage.xml, but another HTTP-200 response containing an
HTML message with some informal message in it, like
"site is currenlty down", or something similar.
What happens in the above case is, that my style sheet simply
gets something very different from what it expected. Possibly
even the response is not well formed... In fact getting the wrong
mimetype is an error, but what i received is still valuable and i
want to send this back instead of the expected xml-data:
What i search is a possibility to simply skip the transformation if i
get something else, than say "plain/xml" as mimetype back from
myserver. Instead doing the transformation, i want directly send back
what i gathered from myserver so far.
How can this be done ?
And going one step further what can i do in this case:
<map:match pattern="mypage">
<map:generate src="http://myserver/mypage"/>
...
</map:match>
Now lets say, i don't know at all, what mimetype myserver
will return, but i wanted to do something, if mimetype is plain/xml
and simply return the data as is in any other case...
How could i achieve this ?
Or is there something, that is so obvious and i simply
don't see it ?
regards, hussayn

Hy;
My original problem came up, when i started to gather data
from another site under authentication. This site happened
to send back a login form instead of the expected XML-data
stream uppon first request. Unfortuntely the site did NOT
send back a HTTP-401 from which i could setup some error
handling.
It would have been great, when this login form could be
processed instead of the original datastream and handed
over to my browser instead of the expected data.
But the only hint i have here is the mime type i get back.
And even this gets broken, if the errorpage would also be
an XML-document.
OK, the whole things needs a major rethought anyway...
thanks again for your support ;-)

Good - that's why I wrote that despite not really having time to understand
fully what you were trying to do. ;)

Hy, Geoff;
Thank's for the info.
I hoped there was a better integrated solution.
Ok, then i have to think about what that means
for my current project in more detail.
Anyway i think, your answer saved me from
doing unnecessary experiments...
regards, Hussayn

Sounds like you're asking to dynamically affect the pipeline setup after
the generator is called which is by design impossible. If so, you'll need
a component that executes before pipeline setup (which therefore can alter
pipeline setup) which limits you to actions, matchers, and selectors. (did
i miss one?) Most likely, you're going to want an action.
