Re^2: Output of XML: "valid XML header needed"-error (OpenSearch)?

Yes, I am sure. (Although I tried all kinds of headers - no result.)

I tried Encode::decode and had negative result with and without it.

Its amazon's client. YouTube has (except the values) the exactly same opensearch file layout - I even tried copy and paste their content - and sent it to amazon A9. Result: Error: no valid XML header *in* file.

What is the magic to properly identify an XML file...?

Try to write your XML to a file and configure Apache to send the `application/opensearchdescription+xml` Content-Type (that's what youtube uses). Try to validate your XML, at least for well-formedness (for example with xmlstarlet), and use `wget --server-response $url` to check that your webserver delivers the right headers. Could you tell us your URL, so that I can take a look as well? Perl 6 in German -- Difficult Sudoku	[reply] [d/l] [select]
