[Catalyst] Can Catalyst-Plugin-AtomServer support nontext/xhtml content?

[Jonathan Rockway]

XML::Atom is for Atom ("RSS") feeds.  If you have non-Atom tags in your
XML, I think the feed server assumes it's some variant of XHTML instead.
 What is the xmlns on the <div> tags?

Here's how you're "supposed" to use C::P::AtomServer:

Also, Atom's mime type is application/atom+xml (not the others you
tried), so that might mean something.

But if your XML isn't Atom, I'm not sure why you're using
C::P::AtomServer.  More information about what you're trying to achieve
would be appreciated.  I see no problem with:

sub serve_xml : ... {
   my ($self, $c, @args) = @_;
   $c->response->content_type('application/xml')
   $c->response->body( XMLOut( [hash to xml encode] );
}

if all you want to do is spew some XML to the client.
