I have a bit of an issue with loading a dynamically generated KML into google maps api.

The KML file is generated by oracle and is of the format 

http://server/oracleservioce.method?parm1=100&parm2=100

If I try and load that uRL (endcoded or decoded) I always get a KMLLayerStatus as INVALID_DOCUMENT.
If I save the resultant file to a local file with a KML extension it works foine, otherwise I get errors.

I even tried renaming the file to .xml and .dat (arbitrary names) and they all fail. It seems that google api need the file to have a .KML extension. This will not work in the dynamic environment. Can anybody suggest a way forward?

Thanks,

PS: I Need to use google maps API, I can not use openlayers or any other solution. The file needs to be loaded into a google.maps.kmllayer object.

    I did this, no matter on the extension, but you have to set the mimetype on the http response: https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kml_tut#kml_server
