Suggestion for RSS
Hi guys. I'm noticing a minor issue with Firefox and the way that Roller
maps the RSS feeds. Currently, there are no extensions on the RSS servlet
mappings, so firefox tries to open a file open dialog. This doesn't seem
right to me. Is there any way to map it to .xml something?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks. That will probably work for our particular situation. I'll try
out Pete's suggestion tomorrow.

Hmm.
There is this known bug in Firefox about Content-Type interpretation,
and I'm not sure the .xml will help at all.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256379
Also see
http://www.petefreitag.com/item/381.cfm
Something along the lines described there might work as a workaround.
You could try experimenting by modifying rss.vm; I'm not sure how this
will affect the other Firefox RSS features.
Personally, I use Firefox a lot and have not even noticed these issues
because autodiscovery + the Firefox "Live" bookmark feature do work and
they're a much nicer way to read feeds in Firefox.

Go to JRoller. Click on the RSS badge. For a temporary solution (while I'm
doing this upgrade), URL rewrite will probably do. I need to add some other
stuff to URLRewrite anyway.

Can you provide the steps to reproduce this behavior?
You could use the UrlRewriteFilter to add .xml.
