> Hi,
> Currently mod_axis serves all GET requests with a Content-Type of text/html, and all POST requests with a Content-Type of text/xml. This ignores wsdl files retrieved via get requests (e.g. /axis/service?wsdl requests). These should also be served with a Content-Type header of text/xml. Doesn't sound like a big issue, but VS.NET breaks on wsdl files served with a text/html header, it refuses to recognize it as a wsdl file unless it is served with a text/xml Content-Type header, this means that wsdl files served by Axis cannot be easily added as a 'Web Reference' in VS.NET.
> I think in /ws-axis/c/src/server/apache/mod_axis.cpp that:
>     req_rec->content_type = (M_POST == req_rec->method_number) ? 
>     "text/xml" : "text/html";
> should be rewritten to something along the lines of:
> if (M_POST == req_rec->method_number) // post request
> {
>   req_rec->content_type = "text/xml";
> }
> else if (strstr(req_rec->query, "wsdl")) // wsdl get request
> {
>   req_rec->content_type = "text/xml";
> }
> else // normal get request
> {
>   req_rec->content_type = "text/html";
> }
> Disclaimer: I'm not an apache/axis module developer, and this is untested code. If you reply to this mail please keep me on cc as I'm not on the dev list.
> Regards,
> Bart
