Re: [JDEV] Karma and transferring large XML message packets...

[Peter Sparago]

Hi Guys,   David and Jens are correct (I should have posted the resolution). A day or two ago, I discovered that I had a couple of bytes containing 0xB7 in the CDATA. The weird part was that the XML checkers I used (on Windows) didn't complain (go figure, right? :-) which led me in the completely wrong direction. Thanks for your help.   peter ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 8:10 PM Subject: Re: [JDEV] Karma and transferring large XML message packets...

For example, IIRC, a byte >127 indicates the first byte of a multibyte character, and the subsequent byte(s) of the same character are supposed to also have the high bit set. So any three byte sequence of the form [<128] [>=128] [<128] would be illegal UTF-8 and cause the parser to barf. So David's recommendation to go with base64 should fix the problem. --Jens
