[xml] Spaces in Id attribute

[mahendra N <mahendra0203 gmail com>]

Hi,

    I have an xml file where the Id attribute has a space. xmlsec is unable to verify the file. The problem seems to be in libxml2 library. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?..

The Id attribute is defined as metioned below:

<LicenceData Id="licnew 1">

<licenceInfo licenceCode="new 1" licenceName="lm"></licenceInfo>

<order orderId=""></order>

When I execute the command 

 xmlsec1 --verify --id-attr:Id LicenceData --trusted-pem root.pem act_space.XML , I get the below mentioned below.

func=xmlSecXPathDataExecute:file=xpath.c:line=273:obj=unknown:subj=xmlXPtrEval:error=5:libxml2 library function failed:expr=xpointer(id('licnew 1'))

func=xmlSecDSigCtxVerify:file=xmldsig.c:line=366:obj=unknown:subj=xmlSecDSigCtxSigantureProcessNode:error=1:xmlsec library function failed:

How should the spaces be handled ?.

Thanks and Regards,
