RE: [oic] OIC SVN Web Manifests - Challenges

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

Bart, I got the XHTML to serve up properly from the OIC SVN Server by
copying into my sandbox folder at SpecAnalysis/construction/sandbox/3/

1. Notice that 
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/SpecAnalysis/constructi
on/sandbox/3/001.html> 
serves up properly.

2. All I did was copy the folder at 
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/TestSuite/branches/bart
h/odf12/scenarios/part3/3/3/>.

3. I then updated the layout.css link to have the actually layout.css file
(since the 001.html file refers to the link location by relative URL).

4. I think the difference is the file mime.types that is at 
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/SpecAnalysis/>.  Try
something similar at TestSuite/ or TestSuite/branches/barth/ to see if that
works for your material in its location.  

5. That should take care of the XHTML being recognized properly by browsers.
To get the CSS to work, you'll have to make a copy in the same folder or
else change the XHTML to refer to a global location of a CSS file that is
used by multiple XHTML pages.

PS: When I open the file from my file system, my browser recognizes the
XHTML because of its filename extension, it seems.  The problem on pages
from the SVN Server is that is won't provide an appropriate MIME type in the
HTTP response header automatically.

For example, I can open the 001.html file at 
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/TestSuite/branches/bart
h/odf12/scenarios/part3/3/3/> 
by navigation through the browser.  
   I can also access the file by directly accessing
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/TestSuite/branches/bart
h/odf12/scenarios/part3/3/3/001.html> 
** PROVIDED THAT THE svn:mime-type IS SET PROPERLY OR THE HTTP content-type
IS SET PROPERLY BY SOME OTHER MEANS **.  (Browser access to the page will
work, but it may be rendered as XML in the browser instead of being rendered
as an XHTML page.  I notice that IE 8 loads the document as an XML document
with color coding, bracket matching, and element indentation, whereas Google
Chrome opens it as a plain text file.  Solutions are needed that work with a
range of common browsers and that gain the cooperation of the OIC SVN
repository web-server functionality as well.)  
   Compare with 
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/SpecAnalysis/constructi
on/>, 
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/SpecAnalysis/constructi
on/index.htm>, 
and
<http://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/oic/SpecAnalysis/constructi
on/construction.htm>
where I have managed to convince the OIC SVN Server to cough up an HTML MIME
type.
