Hi Eric

yes, I had already given in and started looking at the epilogue.
I was happy to see that it has the instance as input, since that is
where I know what view to use anyway.
So it is easy to just test and do my own http-serializer.

Except that the browser still shows the output arriving with the xml
declaration.

So I am now configuring my system so I have something at a lower level
than the browser to inspect what I am receiving from the server.

Thanks again
Colin
