Hi,

 

We are using AEM core component sitemap feature as suggested in below Url,But we are getting plain text when we access sitemap xml.,

 

When we inspect network then response coming with xml tags but while rendering those tags are getting removed.

You may be expecting the mimetype to view xml as response 

 

content-type:text/xml

 

But application/xml is recommended as of RFC 7303 (section 4.1), but text/xml is still used sometimes. You can assign a specific MIME type to a file with .xml extension depending on how its contents are meant to be interpreted. For instance, an Atom feed is application/atom+xml, but application/xml serves as a valid default.

    Hi,

    can you check

    1. the view source

    2. Response type from Network tab

    3. also try in another browser.

    I have seen this kind of issue reported here before but the actual response from sitemap was xml but displaying the text from xml nodes

      Hi @arunpatidar ,

       

      I can see view source consist of XML data and response type application/xml.

      Is this not issue when search engine trying to access sitemap content ?
