RXML creates download box, not page

[jag5311]

We have an RXML template we are using for a feed, and when trying to clickt he feed link brings up a "download" box for the file versus sending us to an xml page.

Why would this be?

here is the template we are using

xml.instruct!

xml.rss "version" => "2.0", "xmlns:dc" => "http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1" do
  xml.channel do
	xml.title	   "#{@user.handle}'s Recent Searches"
	xml.link		url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'guide', :action => 'guide_profile', :id => @user.id)
	xml.pubDate	 CGI.rfc1123_date(@paqs.first.created_at) if @paqs.any?
	xml.description "Recent ChaCha searches made by #{@user.handle}"
	
	@paqs.each do |psr|
	  xml.item do
		xml.title		 psr.name
		xml.link		  url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'category', :action => 'psr', :id => psr.paq_id)
		  xml.description psr.name
		  xml.pubDate	 CGI.rfc1123_date(psr.created_at)
		  xml.guid		url_for(:only_path => false, :controller => 'category', :action => 'psr', :id => psr.paq_id)
		  xml.author	  @user.handle
	  end
	end
  end
end

Thanks,
Bryan

What content type is being sent from the server when you access that action?

[redemption]

Yup Vinnie's hit the nail on the head - it's your web server sending an incorrect Content-Type. What web server(s) are you using to deploy your Rails application?

I think the easy fix is to throw in a @headers["Content-Type"] = "text/xml" at the end of the controller method.
