Is it possible to return an XML document (for example from FastCGI) which contains a processing instruction, and have the XSLT module locate and apply the XSL file? For example; if the FastCGI app returns: ``` ``` …then would/could the XSLT module load the file based on the current “root” set in the server section of the config file?

No, currently stylesheets are proccessed on configuraiton stage. One of the reasons why it was implemented so because a stylesheet may have remote includes that may block for long time, etc. ---

Are you currently using XSLT in nginx to serve XML files returned from FastCGI? I’ve tried doing that in my environment, and nginx just returns the XML raw. ---

Not yet - I was going to play with setting “xslt\_types process/xml;” and have my fastcgi app return that content type, but I would’ve preferred to be able to set a processing instruction to allow separation of stylesheets into “logged out”/“logged in” sets.
