How to provide other content-type than text/html with modruby and eruby?

Is it possible to provide a content-type other than text/html using
modruby and eruby?

Currently I cannot make dynamic XML, RDF and XUL using eruby :frowning:

TIA,

Erik.

Does Apache.request#content_type= do what you want?

Probably, but how do I use it?

Do I have to require ‘’ from my eruby script? I am not sure
how this works. Oh well, I probably need to read more docs, or use PHP
for the time being.

Cheers,

Erik.

Been a while since I last tried it, but if you are running your scripts
under modruby, then it should be accessible to you. Simply:

r = Apache.request
r.content_type = ‘text/html’

…and replace ‘text/html’ with your fancy format.
If you’re using eruby (under modruby), you might have to force the
output of the header. See Apache::Request#send_http_header and
friends. (If you’re using eruby without modruby, then you can ignore
whatever I’ve said.)

Yup. That was why I included that little clicky. :slight_smile:
