List, I just tried to generate a few Nmap XML files and noticed that Firefox doesn't seem to load them. I tried to bug the #firefox guys on Mozilla's IRC channel, but got no meaningful reply. Here's what I tried: 1. nmap localhost -oX file.xml --webxml && firefox file.xml Gives an "unknown error" (805303f4) message. Google suggests that it's because Firefox doesn't read external XSL's by default. 2. nmap localhost -oX file.xml && firefox file.xml Results in a blank webpage. Tried to replace "/usr/bin/../share" with "/usr/share" in the file, no help.
Just checked in Google Chrome. Both steps 2 and 1 give a blank page. So does setting the path to nmap.xsl or, say, file:///tmp/xsl/nmap.xsl. The only way I managed to get it working is by uploading it to a web server with XSL pointing to the same directory (hadn't tried other options). Here's how I found a tip that led me to checking that: http://stackoverflow.com/q/7154507/1091116 I'm starting to think that the Nmap XML files should contain no XSL by default.
