Index.php has the Content-Type header you are after. But it looks like the layout is set after the header is issued.

You could try moving the headers down to later in index.php...

Hi Paul,

thanks for your reply.

I don't think I'm firm enough with eZ publish to meddle with the index.php.

I have tested several browsers in the meantime, and they do not seem to bother about the Content-Type header that comes with a CSS in a <link/> tag. I'll rather rely on that behaviour until I have read and understood more of the eZ publish sources.

Cheers,
Ben

I have investigated a bit and have found that it should be no problem to override the content-type header later, as output buffering is in place.

So, I have added the following in kernel/layout/set.php at line 56:

    if ( $layoutINI->hasVariable( $LayoutStyle, 'ContentType' ) ) 
        Header("Content-Type: " . $layoutINI->variable( $LayoutStyle, 'ContentType' ));

This allows setting an optional content type in layout.ini.append.php:

[css]
PageLayout=css_pagelayout.tpl
ContentType=text/css

If anybody has ideas on how to enhance this, or concerns about the approach, I would be glad to hear back from you.

Cheers,
Ben
