Solution

  • You can check your S3 served content with a browser.

    You need to make sure S3 serves your xml as "content-type" of "text/xml" and that the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> is really on the first line of the response.

    Also check the Twilio call logs for step by step debugging, you should see more info about the faulty http request that gives you the error, including the S3's response headers and content type.

    For testing purposes you can also use the TwiML Bins, you can find them on the left menu under "Tools" > "Developer Center". Create a bin there with your xml and you will get a url you can use instead of your S3 url.

    TwiML Bins don't need <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> on the first line, just put the xml in there.
