Opensearch with a distant wiki

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

I am trying to add / configure an new openSearch engine to Alfresco in order to query a distant mediawiki.

I did customize the "web-scripts-config-custom.xml" that looks like below :

<alfresco-config>

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="OpenSearch">
      <opensearch>

         <engines>
            <engine label="WIKI CVF" proxy="remote">
               <url type="application/atom+xml">[WIKI_HOST]/api.php?action=opensearch&amp;search={searchTerms}&amp;limit=10&amp;namespace=0&amp;format=xmlfm</url>
            </engine>
         </engines>

      </opensearch>
   </config>

</alfresco-config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

While launching a query specifying this new engine, I do have this error poped-up :

An error occurred:
Cannot read property 'documentElement' of null
‍‍‍‍

While looking at the results sent back by the wiki, I may see this :

I don't know what to think, is that the real response sent back by the wiki (meaning html format instead of xml as specified in the request)? Or does Alfresco do not understand the response?

thank you by advance
