View the XML for an activity

[stevieflow]

Hello

Looking at https://datastore.iatistandard.org/activity/44000-P180688

There's a download for the XML, which generates a file I must then open in the relevant application.

That's good and helpful - but there's also the use case where I want to view / access the XML in the browser?

There doesnt seem to be any way to do that currently - the Download function hides this, I think

If I compare with https://d-portal.org/ctrack.html#view=act&aid=44000-P180688 - I can get to the XML in the browser:

https://d-portal.org/q.xml?aid=44000-P180688

Is it feasible for the datastore to do something similar?

Having this would be particularly useful as that could then be used with the validator and/or other services - eg:

https://validator.iatistandard.org/report/fb222280-98cd-4a8f-be01-8f093fce99e0 (this is the d-portal endpoint in the validator)

Thanks

@stevieflow,

Yes, it would be possible to add, say, a "View XML" button, which didn't force the browser to download it.

Thanks @simon-20 - that would be great

I've added it to the triage list, so it will be scheduled at some undetermined future point :) Same for the others.
