passing parameters into the XSLTResponseWriter: particularly hostname

[Fergus McMenemie <fe...@twig.me.uk>]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there was a way of passing parameters into 
the XSLTResponseWriter writer.

I always like the option of formatting my search results as an 
RSS feed. Users can therefore configure their phone, browser etc
to automatically redo a search every so often and have new items
in the result set highlighted to them.

However many RSS clients require links to the underlying content 
to be absolute. So I need to pass in the full hostname, of the
machine serving the results, to the transform generating my RSS
feed. How do I do this?

Regards Fergus

Doh! of course.

I don't think there's anyway to pass input in the traditional <xsl:param> 
sense, but you can set default/invariant params along with echoParams=all 
to get the values you want into the XML doc itself where your stylesheet 
has access to it.
