RE: [xml] Relative path to DTD: should it work?

["Parag Chandra" <pchandra slickedit com>]

Daniel, thanks for the reply. I was just about to post that the problem
appears to be one of my own making. Instead of:

xmlTextReader *reader = xmlReaderForMemory(pStart, len, NULL, NULL,
libxml2flags);

I needed to be doing:

xmlTextReader *reader = xmlReaderForMemory(pStart, len, fn, NULL,
libxml2flags);

so that the entity loader would have some base URI to use as a reference
point. Sorry!

  Warning, a system identifier is an URI-Reference, not a file path !
What you pasted is likely to not work.

  strange again, there is some specific Windows code trying to deal
with that filepath/URI-Reference conflict ...
