Summary09407: question and group export uses HTML content-type
Description

The export of questions and question groups uses
Content-Type: text/html/force-download

This causes problems if LimeSurvey runs behind Apache mod_proxy_html. Wouldn't
text/xml
be more appropriate?

(The problems behind mod_proxy_html are: XML document is wrapped in <html><body>-tags; all tags are converted to lowercase as tags in HTML are not case-sensitive.)

TagsNo tags attached.

What kind of problems does it create?
The problem with text/xml is that some browsers add their own .xml extension to the file on download.

As already sketched above, the problem is that mod_proxy_html looks at the Content-Type of a document to decide whether it has to apply its magic to it or to pass it unchanged. Because mod_proxy_html thinks the XML export is HTML, I noticed at least two problems:

  • Everything gets wrapped in a <html><body>...</body></html>.
  • Tags are converted into lower case, which is a problem with 'LimeSurveyDocType' and 'DBVersion'.

Would application/xml solve the problem that some browsers add their own extension? Just out of curiosity, do you know an example for a browser that behaves this way?

AFAIK does application/xml the same. Problem browser is Safari.

I fixed this by using application/force-download.
