[overlord-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (SRAMP-546) Remove the ability to download XML metadata from UI

Brett Meyer commented on SRAMP-546:
-----------------------------------

+1 that it wouldn't really be used for anything.  I'd rather beef up the actual UI's ability to display metadata in meaningful ways, rather than support downloads, etc.  If it becomes an issue, we could always simply link to the actual REST endpoint.

> Artifact metadata displays a blank page in S-RAMP UI.
> From BZ-1064846:
> {quote}
> The artifact meta-data is an XML file.  It appears that Safari doesn't display that very nicely, but also doesn't prompt you to download the content.
> ...
> What about displaying metadata in the same way as artifact's source?
> ...
> That's not a bad idea, although the feature was intended to be a "download" vs. a "view" of that data.
> Of course, it's sort of moot since I'm not really sure if that meta-data is really useful in any case.  It's not clear that users would be able to really use it for much of anything.
> I will probably either remove the feature or try to force the browser to download the content (I believe there may be a way to do this).
