Make chrome display an rss feed (2)

google-chrome, php, rss, xml

Solution

Try changing the header to `application/xml`

This worked for me by changing the header:

<?php 
header('Content-Type: application/xml');
echo file_get_contents('http://web.student.tuwien.ac.at/~e0250890/rsstest/test.php');
?>

Mozilla accepts a whole range of headers

`text/xml`,`application/xml`,`application/rss+xml`,`application/atom+xml`

But it seems chrome accepts only `text/xml` or `application/xml`

Not 100% sure why, perhaps you should take it up with google ;p

Problem

This question is a follow-up on this one: get google chrome to view an rss feed I copied the source code from this page (hope this is ok for the site-owner): http://www.petefreitag.com/rss/. I escaped all quotes and made a php file out of it. The file looks like this: ``` <?php header('Content-Type: application/rss+xml'); echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?> <?xml-stylesheet type=\"text/css\" href=\"http://www.petefreitag.com/rss/simple_style.css\" ?> <rss version=\"2.0\"> <channel> <title>Pete Freitag's Homepage</title> <link>http://www.petefreitag.com/</link> <description>Covering ColdFusion, Java, Web Development, and other topics</description> <language>en-us</language> <lastBuildDate>Fri, 23 Mar 2012 18:57:00 GMT</lastBuildDate> <ttl>45</ttl> <item> REST OF THE SOURCE CODE </rss> "; ?> ``` Here you can see the result: http://web.student.tuwien.ac.at/~e0250890/rsstest/test.php However, on http://www.petefreitag.com/rss/ chrome views the page as rss feed, in my example it shows just the source code. What is the difference and how can I force chrome to view the page as rss feed?
