[xml] Problem with xmlReadFile on Windows and 0x10 characters

[James Ytterstene <james mensa se>]

Hello

Im writing a c++ wrapper where i read a XML file with the xmlReadFile("filename", NULL, 0);
I have created the file via libxml2 calls and got it saved to disk.

The file im trying to read in my example is:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
  <configuration name="testSaveLoadXMLFileLayout">
    <parameter name="floatParam1" datatype="float">92345.1</parameter>
  </configuration>
</config>

Now my problem:
-----------------------------
If i have the file unchanged from any windows editor the line ending is CR only but
if someone edit the file it will be changed to CRLF (Stupid windows editors but we must use them)
If i now try to read the file back in libxml2 i will get an extra node at each line only containing 0x10. Blanks on the new line seems to be cleared ok.
If i change the xmlReadFile and add the option XML_PARSE_NOBLANKS i can read the file back ok. But when reading about that option i find
many posts about not to use it, so im confused here.

When i read about libxml2 and how files should be parsed i get the feeling that the parser should handle the CRLF when reading files and always
save the new files with CR only. So the extra CRLF shouIdn't be any issue but I can be wrong here. 
Is there any general solution for the parsing of files so the CR CRLF doesnt add any extra nodes?
