Forcing firefox to render XML in a tree like fashion?

Question

Hi there,

I am trying to get firefox to render the xml that is being returned to it in a tree like format as in Internet explorer..

Currently it just displays the field values .. i.e. NO XML

Is there some special setting i am missing?

EDIT

Here is the xml that is being returned

<ArrayOfSampleItem xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/InmoCasaService" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;&lt;SampleItem&gt;&lt;Id&gt;1&lt;/Id&gt;&lt;StringValue&gt;Hello&lt;/StringValue&gt;&lt;/SampleItem&gt;&lt;/ArrayOfSampleItem&gt;

but it displays the following

1Hello

EDIT

And here is what is returned via fiddler

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 222
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

<ArrayOfSampleItem xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/InmoCasaService" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;&lt;SampleItem&gt;&lt;Id&gt;1&lt;/Id&gt;&lt;StringValue&gt;Hello&lt;/StringValue&gt;&lt;/SampleItem&gt;&lt;/ArrayOfSampleItem&gt;

EDIT

Now i have this... but still the same problem.. Look at the content type

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Cache-Control: private
Content-Length: 226
Content-Type: application/xml
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319

<ArrayOfSampleItem xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/InmoCasaService" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;&lt;SampleItem&gt;&lt;Id&gt;1&lt;/Id&gt;&lt;StringValue&gt;He4444llo&lt;/StringValue&gt;&lt;/SampleItem&gt;&lt;/ArrayOfSampleItem&gt;

Answer 1

It's because Firefox is trying to render the file as HTML, as it is being told by the Content-Type: text/html header. And HTML browser should ignore unknown tags.

You want your server to return Content-Type: application/xml. I don't know how to configure IIS to do this, but the easiest way may be to name the file with the .xml extension, if you haven't already.

Answer 2

Also it may not render in FF because you dont have xml full structure including header (not the http header, they seems fine) and encoding informations.
