Check out these two links: http://mail.knifecenter.com/lookupdetail.xml http://www.knifecenter.com/lookupdetail.xml They are the exact same file. Yet, the second one does not show up at all in my browser.
Here is exactly what your server sends: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2006 19:56:55 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Cache-control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0 Cache-control: post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache Connection: Close MIME-Version: 1.0 Expires: Thu, 10 Aug 2006 19:56:55 GMT Content-Length: 1 This tells me a few things: 1. You are using an ancient version of apache and should upgrade. 2. You have some very specific cache-control stuff being sent, which implies a non-standard configuration. Is this file really being served directly from the filesystem, or is there some dynamic stuff involved? 3. The Content-Length is 1, which means that apache believes the file contains only one byte. Are you sure the file really contains what you think it does? Is there anything interesting in the access and error logs? Have you tried "EnableSendfile Off / EnableMMAP off"? Other than that, you should look for any place in your config where special processing is activated for xml files.
