hello there

did ever work out?
having same problem trying view nmap xml output using firefox on same machine scans done.
appear ff not load nmap stylesheet filter xml source.

1 difference:
using nmap 5.0 (self compiled , installed /usr/local) on ubuntu 9.04 ff v3.0.15 path stylesheet (embedded in xml) file:///usr/local/share/nmap/nmap.xsl

when copy xml output files , copy of stylesheet samba share , edit xml point <?xml-stylesheet href="./nmap.xsl" type="text/xsl"?> open xml in ie8 on xp box, well.
guess there must setting in ff enable behaviour too. next step: working out is...
mtia pointers...


well! waddayaknow: opening xml ff on ubuntu box samba share works fine , dandy!
it's work-around @ least...
