Starting last Friday, apparently unrelated to any CMake source code
changes, the CMake.HTML test started failing on several platforms:

http://www.cdash.org/CDash/queryTests.php?project=CMake&date=2010-11-01&filtercount=1&showfilters=1&field1=testname/string&compare1=63&value1=HTML

It appears to be a "403/forbidden" error from the xmllint output.

It seems that all of the failing platforms have older xmllint
installs, and do not support the "--nonet" command line arg.

Does anybody know what might have changed to cause this? (Some setting
on the w3.org web server?)

You can see the CMakeLists code that adds the test at
CMake/Utilities/CMakeLists.txt, starting around line 140.

I am at a loss and I'm not sure what we should do about it. It is nice
to think that the HTML documentation that we generate is checked and
validated against the schemas available from w3.org... But to be
really useful, we need the test to be reliable. As it stands, I'm
leaning towards disabling the test on xmllint installs that do not
support "--nonet".

Any HTML / xmllint experts out there that can chime in and point out
what's wrong so we can get it fixed?


Thanks,
David Cole
