Hi Experts,
I am getting this error from a module I wrote for Apache:
"Client found response content type of "txt/html", but expected "text/xml"
I use the module so my device can communicate with my database. The device expects XML format but Apache has experienced an error and fires html response to it, so device does not understands it and shows "Client found response content type of "txt/html", but expected "text/xml". So, the error could really mean anything.
My question is
Is there a way to somehow have Apache throw a customizable XML response to an error rather than sending error in HTML format? That way my device would understand it and would show real error instead of showing "Client found response content type of "txt/html", but expected "text/xml".
I am inexperienced with Apache, please provide thorough explanation how to do it or what could I do to solve the issue.
Much appreciated |

It can be done by adding AddType to an extension of your files. e.g.
AddType text/xml .xhtml
or changing the default Type
DefaultType text/xml |

Hi James and thanks for your reply.
Would you mind explaining bit more since I am new to Apache?
Is AddType or DefaultType something to be added in httpd.conf file or?
Much appreciated. |

Yes both are to be added to the httpd.conf. For more information I made both to links to the documentation from apache in the post above.
DefaultType --> apache sends anything what is not different defined somewhere else as the specified format (header).
AddType --> add a type to an extension. |

Thanks James,
I will give it a read and try it. Hopefully that will at least provide a more specific error than simply throwing "Client found response content type of "txt/html", but expected "text/xml", so I can investigate for the real cause.
Much Appreciated. |
