RE: Re: Server Reporting "US-ASCII"

Thanks to all who have responded with advisories. Per my 
request the hosting provider has modified IIS6 MIME Type 
settings to be application/xml for .xml, .rdf. and .rss
file types noting I should have also suggested .atom but
at the moment I don't even know enough of the ATOM initiative
to know if it uses its own file extension.

The prolog of the .xml file that raised this event is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> but I have no
clue how that may or may not be in conflict with any
headers returned in a response especially since it was
advised that the MIME Type be application/xml and others
such as Eric are now making reference to text/xml. Please
explain the contextual difference if any.
