NAME
Apache::MimeXML - mod_perl mime encoding sniffer for XML files
SYNOPSIS
Simply add this line to srm.conf or httpd.conf:
PerlTypeHandler Apache::MimeXML
Alternatively add it only for certain files or directories using the standard Apache methods. There is about a 30% slowdown for files using this module, so you probably want to restrict it to certain XML locations only.
DESCRIPTION
An XML Content-Type sniffer. This module reads the encoding attribute in the xml declaration and returns an appropriate content-type heading. If no encoding declaration is found it returns utf-8 or utf-16 depending on the specific encoding.
CONFIGURATION
There are a few small configuration options for this module, allowing you to set various parameters.
XMLMimeType
Allows you to set the mime type for XML files:
PerlSetVar XMLMimeType text/xml
That changes the mime type from the default application/xml to text/xml. You can use this on a per-directory basis.
XMLUtf16EncodingBE
Allows you to set the encoding of big-endian (read: normal) utf 16 (unicode) documents. The default is 'utf-16'
PerlSetVar XMLUtf16EncodingBE utf-16-be
XMLUtf16EncodingLE
Allows you to set the encoding of little-endian utf-16 encoded documents. The default is 'utf-16-le'
PerlSetVar XMLUtf16EncodingLE utf-16-wierd
