Description John Dennis 2009-10-29 22:15:42 UTC 
All the scriplets accept a HTTP request argument indicating if XML output is desired instead of HTML. However the argument usage is inconsistent. In all cases except /ca/ee/ca/profileSubmit the argument is "xml" but for /ca/ee/ca/profileSubmit the argument is "xmlOutput".

All scriplets should use the same flag for the same functionality.

pki/base/common/src/com/netscape/cms/servlet/profile/ProfileSubmitServlet.java

should be modified to also accept "xml", this would allow consistent argument usage across all scriplets but preserve backwards compatibility.
