GET /ooxml
/ooxmlReturns a well-formed Office Open XML package (DOCX, XLSX, or PPTX) where [Content_Types].xml, every relationship, and every referenced part are present and self-consistent. Counterpart to the chaos /ooxml endpoint, which deliberately ships packages where one structural field lies.
format
docx (default), xlsx, or pptx. Same hello-world content rendered in the appropriate document structure for each format.
build a request:
expect: 200 OK with the OOXML MIME type for the chosen format. The package opens cleanly in python-docx / openpyxl / python-pptx (and by extension Word / Excel / PowerPoint, LibreOffice, etc.).
# Save the archive, then inspect the OOXML package structure.
curl -sD - 'https://not.catastrophic.io/ooxml?format=docx' -o /tmp/chaos.docx | grep -i 'content-type\|x-chaos-ooxml'
unzip -p /tmp/chaos.docx '[Content_Types].xml' | head -20
unzip -l /tmp/chaos.docx
# python-docx / openpyxl / python-pptx are strict; chaos modes hard-fail.
