DHTMLX javascript suite is significantly configurable using XML. This
configurability makes it possible to mostly define an application using XML.
Oftentimes I need to generate that XML dynamically. Many http requests are
made using DHTMLX's javascript load commands, which require the returned
content-type to be text/xml.

I'm also serving from Active4D, XML documents loaded with 4D's command "DOM
Parse XML source". These must only contain well-formed xml, no A4D tags, and
the content-type must be text/xml. Because Active4D defaults to text/html
for all executable documents, I cannot use "xml" as an executable type in
Active4D.ini and have the 4D command "DOM Parse XML source" work.

I had this working in an earlier version before using the 4D command DOM
Parse XML source. To simplify the configuration requirements and reduce the
number of documents required by more than 100 I am now extracting the json
data map from the xml documents. So the same dynamically created XML
documents loaded by DHTMLX using javascript calls are loaded by the 4D
command DOM Parse XML source.

It isn't clear to me why you cannot.

Why isn't 'set content type' achieving that? If you mark any extension as
executable, by default Active4D sets the content type to text/html, which
you can change with 'set content type'.
