Re: EXPAT - XML parsing issue

[David Lynch <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your prompt reply. On the V5R4 machine I get the same problem with any of the example programs in LIBHTTP.

On the v5r4 machine I installed the suite of programs as per your readme file, using the option to use the pre-compiled expat program (as I have no QSYSINC so the compile was failing). On V6R1 I used the install option that compiled the expat.

I haven't had time to try to understand the complexities of the various programs used by this tool so I can't quite understand why the log file shows the returned XML in readable format, but the parser doesn't. Could be be something to do with the encoding? In the soap request I use encoding "iso-8859-1" but the encoding in the xml in the log file is "utf-8". This is identical on the two servers but it's just the V5R4 one that doesn't work.

Cheers

David,

I've not heard of a situation where the 'name' parameter would be unreadable.   You say this only occurs on V5R4...  I don't know of any reason why that would affect anything.  Can you tell me how to make it happen so I can debug it and discover the cause?
