I tried looking for a Chrome extension that does this, but was unsuccessful in finding one. Basically, I want to hit a web service that returns a content type header of application/rdf+xml or application/xml and have Chrome automatically display the content inline. I have the XML Tree extension which displays the XML just fine, but Chrome by default will download files unless they have a certain extension.
My question is: Is there a way to force Chrome to open certain things inline based on Content-Type returned from the server? Extension or direct support in Chrome is fine with me. If one doesn’t exist, I’ll investigate developing one.
Great question, one I’ve been trying to answer for ages. Unlike firefox, chrome, and chromium, use an external xdg mime-type query to decide what helper applications to use, but one generally doesn’t want to set chrome as a generic handler for application/rdf+xml. So I was very pleased to discover the chrome extension “application/…+json|+xml as inline.” Available from the web store, or at
