Dear all,

We are just in the process of migrating our EPrints repository from 3.3.15 to 3.4.3. Up to now, everything went as expected. But now we have a problem with XML export files. We regularly generate these files for inclusion into researcher’s websites on the university’s CMS and store them in a directory in order to give quicker access for very long lists. Up to now, the export with the XML plugin resulted in files with mimetype=application/xml, with 3.4.3 we get mimetype=text/xml. On the webpages we now have the problem that German Umlauts etc. are not displayed correctly and we are not sure whether there is a connection with this change.

Does anybody have any idea where changes were made in the export plugins or has any ideas on how we could go back to application/xml?

Unfortunately, the colleague who wrote the export script does not work anymore at the university and my technical understanding of this is rather rudimentary. I would be grateful for any hints.

Best wishes,

Verena
