I have document
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<body>
</body>
</html>
When I use this code in IDispatchMessageFormatter with code to generate html page:
XmlReaderSettings settingsReader=new XmlReaderSettings();
settingsReader.ProhibitDtd=false;
settingsReader.DtdProcessing=DtdProcessing.Parse;
settingsReader.ValidationEventHandler+=new System.Xml.Schema.ValidationEventHandler(settingsReader_ValidationEventHandler);
XhtmlUrlResolver resolver=new XhtmlUrlResolver();
Uri baseUri=new Uri("http://localhost/App_Data/dtd");
Uri fulluri=resolver.ResolveUri(baseUri,"xhtml11.dtd");
// Get a stream object containing the XSL file
Stream s=(Stream)resolver.GetEntity(fulluri,null,typeof(Stream));
//Read the stream object displaying the contents of the XSL file
settingsReader.XmlResolver=resolver;
MemoryStream ms=new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes((MessageBody)));
ms.Position=0;
XmlReader reader=XmlReader.Create(ms,settingsReader);
MessageResponse=Message.CreateMessage(messageVersion,string.Format("ServiceModel/IService/{0}",Operation),reader);
Html page doctype is generate as
<html version="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I can not find a way to page contain doctype in good way :
Only solution is send message as binary. I wrote it on blog http://netmajor.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/jak-przeslac-xhtml-wraz-z-doctype-w-obiekcie-message-za-pomoca-wcf/
