I have a template within EE that is set to the XML type. I’m wondering if instead of rendering the page in the browser, if it can be downloaded as an XML file instead. I’ve seen solutions within PHP that force the browser to download a file, but this assumes the file has an actual extension, which EE does not have. (e.g, “filename.xml” vs ee’s structure “/filename”).

Any ideas on where to begin with this? Thanks.

Apparently all that need to be added—since EE is already sending the proper XML headers—is to tell the template to force the download via a PHP header:

<?php header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="foodbanks.xml"'); ?>

This seemed to work.
