The IE7 option of unchecking the box in tools/content/settings is no longer working for me, weirdly enough.

Does anyone have any other ideas how I can see the unformatted XML in either IE, FF3, or Chrome? (It seems like there must be a FF plugin, but can't seem to find one)

Have you tried viewing the page source?

If view source doesn't do the trick for you, you could install the Fiddler plugin for IE and see the full request / response as raw data. It's a very handy tool- most web developers should install it.

  • Well, its not perfect, but much better. Fiddler still doesn't show me the truly raw xml - like View Source, it is converting the <> into &gt, etc. However, the XML tab did allow me to to see all of the nodes in the xml feed which is what I needed, since most of the nodes don't show up in the formatted version. So...Thanks! Eric

  • Most of Fiddler's inspectors show you exactly the bytes flowing across the wire. If you see &gt, that's because that's what's flowing across the wire. The "XML" inspector will do XML-entity decoding.

  • @ericgr: I suspect you're talking about HTML embedded within the RSS. But, that's how RSS works - unlike Atom (which supports namespaced XHTML directly) HTML markup has to be encoded.

You could use the Firebug Plugin for FireFox, it will show you everything you ever wanted to know about a document, right down to the POST and GETs and network traffic..
