Hi! Thanks for nmap - been using it somewhat lately (to check the security of the sites that I'm responsible for). One thing, I just got rid of my windows box... which seemed to be the only way to read the XML reports NMAP 4.11 (on SUSE 10.0) creates (using --webxml). On linux, I have tried to following browsers: - Opera 9.0 (and 8.xx) - Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.4 (and versions upto it) - Konqueror 3.5.3 (and earlier versions) But it seems that the report is somehow broken as none of those show anything (just a blank page), while the IE on windows would show and print the report correctly. Is there some way I could load up the report on linux? I could not find anything useful with Google. -- HG.
For Firefox I believe you're running into an undocumented(?) security feature that prevents an XSL stylesheet from being loaded from a remote server. I can't speak for the other browsers. Put the XSL stylesheet on the same webserver as the XML files and change the <?xml-stylesheet href="/usr/local/share/nmap/nmap.xsl" type="text/xsl"?> tag to point to the corret FQDN. Also make sure that the content-type of the XSL file is is text/xsl or text/xml. Your XML files should be properly rendered again once you point at a local XSL source.
