Subject: Re: [xsl] file extensions in xsl From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2004 10:33:35 +0100 |
> So when would anyone use a .xslt file extension? You should not (in general) assume any special semantics for any extension. For example on an ISO format CDROM you can't have .xslt at all. On my "home" ISP I can not use .xsl for XSLT files as they are served with a mime type of text/plain (and I can't change the mime type without paying money) so I serve XSLT files with .xml. On a web server the extension should _never_ have any effect (although IE does sometimes use this in non standard ways to override the specified mime type) the server sends an "HTTP header" along with the file, and this should explictly declare that the files are an XML mime type (eg application/xml or application/xml+xsl). On the filesystem, for local files the extension will have an effect, but you can not ask on a global group what that effect will be, it all depends on your local settings (in the registrary on windows, or the .mimetypes file on unix/linux). This will define a default mapping on your system between extensions and mime types (and possibly a default application) David -- The LaTeX Companion http://www.awprofessional.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0201362996 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201362996/202-7257897-0619804 ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
