The DBWalker's internal libraries produce XML output. This is
transformed into HTML via a XSL stylesheet, which is changeable on a
per-configuration basis. When a request is received that ends in
.xml
, DBWalker will return an XML document with a
reference to an XSL stylesheet on the DBWalker server (which modern
browsers will automatically fetch and apply).
However, if a request is received with the extension .html
,
DBWalker will apply the stylesheet server-side before the
client ever sees it, and hand the resulting HTML to the client. This
is useful for clients that do not apply XSL transformations to XML
documents (like the Search Appliance).
