Re: [xml] timeouts when fetching URLs at a port other than :80

["Brian Tingle" <Brian Tingle ucop edu>]

It seems to just be a problem with libxml2-2.6.31

 

voro davinci:/voro/local/src% time libxml2-2.6.30/xmllint --noout http://content-dev.cdlib.org:8088/x.xml

0.00u 0.01s 0:00.07 14.2%

voro davinci:/voro/local/src% time libxml2-2.6.31/xmllint --noout http://content-dev.cdlib.org:8088/x.xml

http://content-dev.cdlib.org:8088/x.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty

http://content-dev.cdlib.org:8088/x.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

 

^

0.01u 0.01s 2:00.08 0.0%

 

Interestingly, in both cases the server thinks it has delivered the files

 

….193 - - [06/Mar/2008:14:49:23 -0800] "GET /x.xml HTTP/1.0" 200 5 "-" "-"

….193 - - [06/Mar/2008:14:49:42 -0800] "GET /x.xml HTTP/1.0" 200 5 "-" "-"

Hi,

 

I am porting some code from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 and I thought would recompile the libraries and perl modules it uses.  I am having a strange problem with an XSLT that has an external include that I think I have tracked down to xmllint/libxml.

 

When I use the xmllint that ships when solaris 10 or the one I compiled years back on solaris 8, both of these commands execute with an exit code 0

 

1) xmllint --noout http://content-dev.cdlib.org/x.xml

2) xmllint --noout http://content-dev.cdlib.org:8088/x.xml

 

Howver, when the libxml2 I recently compiled

 

voro davinci:/voro/local/src/libxml2-2.6.31% xmllint -version

xmllint: using libxml version 20631

   compiled with: Threads Tree Output Push Reader Patterns Writer SAXv1 FTP HTTP DTDValid HTML Legacy C14N Catalog XPath XPointer XInclude Iconv ISO8859X Unicode Regexps Automata Expr Schemas Schematron Modules Debug Zlib

 

I get different results for 1) and 2).  1) executes and returns exit code 0

 

When I run 2), nothing happens for about a minute or so, and then I get this

http://content-dev.cdlib.org:8088/x.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty

http://content-dev.cdlib.org:8088/x.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

I have tested with apache1, apache2, and resin; and what seems to matter is if the server is running on port 80 or not.

 

Thanks for any advice you might have, -- Brian

 

PS thank you for libxml2 and libxslt!  They have helped me a lot over the years.
