Description Thorsten Staerk 2007-07-16 15:58:14 UTC
When using Special:Exportpages to export all my pages, it would be better to get a file instead an XML in a browserwindow. Because if XML is shown in a browserwindow, all tags are omitted.

I am about to write a patch for that using the php commands
tmpfile
header and
readfile
Comment 1 Rob Church 2007-07-16 16:04:47 UTC
Not sure if this is required; browsers give the option to save as XML. I suppose we could emit the appropriate Content-disposition header to encourage the user agent to offer to save as a file instead, but on the whole, I'm not sure *that* is needed, either.
