REXML/RSS parse error

Patrick Plattes

Hello,

I have a problem while parsing an RSS file. I try to open a URL via
open-uri and it usually works fine, but with the RSS URLs from ccMixter
I get a parse error. It's a bit strange because if i download the file
and try to open it, it works fine.

I tried:
rss =
RSS::Parser.parse("http://ccmixter.org/media/api/query?score=400&sinceu=1157536651&limit=25&tags=remix+editorial_pick&rand=1&format=rss&q...)

And got:
RSS::NotWellFormedError: This is not well formed XML
Missing end tag for 'html' (got "head")
Line:
Position:
Last 80 unconsumed characters:
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rss/rexmlparser.rb:24:in `_parse'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rss/parser.rb:163:in `parse'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rss/parser.rb:78:in `parse'
from (irb):43


If i save the file and try to open it, it works fine:
rss = RSS::Parser.parse("query",false)


Imho there should be no difference between open a local file or an URL.


Thanks for all the help I got the last days from this list,
Patrick

Thank you, I hadn't seen it. I've written an e-mail to them, but the
most RSS reader are able to parse this malicious file. Do you know any
way to force the parser to read this file. For RSS It would be ok, to
stop parsing after the closing RSS tag.

Thanks,
Patrick

Yes, that works very well :-). I'm very happy now *g*. Thank you very much,
