HTTP Header Settings in Java 6 SE httpserver

Question

I am trying to publish an Atom feed (generated in Rome) using Java 6 SE httpserver. For proper feed detection in FireFox, I need custom headers.

This is my code:

Headers headers=e.getRequestHeaders(); ArrayList<String>list=new ArrayList<String>(); list.add("application/atom+xml"); headers.put("content-type", list); e.sendResponseHeaders(200, 0); 

Unfortunately, the channel is displayed as xml (the browser does not ask me what to do with the feed), and sniffing with livehttpheaders shows that the content type attribute is missing.

Answer 1

You can customize the response headers as follows:

 Headers headers = exchange.getResponseHeaders(); headers.add("Content-Type", "application/atom+xml"); exchange.sendResponseHeaders(200, 0);
