?wsdl get request sets wrong content-type header -- breaks 'Add Web Reference'
in VS.NET.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXISCPP-519
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-519
Project: Axis-C++
Type: Improvement
Components: Server - Apache module
Versions: 1.4 Final
Environment: Windows
Reporter: Bart
Priority: Trivial
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.

Bart
