Project: Xerces-C++
Type: Bug
Components: Utilities
Versions: Nightly build (please specify the date)
Environment: Operating System: All
Platform: All
Reporter: Michael Glavassevich
Assignee: cargilld
Revision 1.12 of xercesc/util/XMLUri.cpp in CVS.
I found this one from inspecting the code. It seems that XMLUri for Xerces-C
was modelled after Xerces-J's URI class, which happens to have several bugs
(that I've already reported).
The Xerces URI implementation currently rejects URIs with one characters
schemes, such as g:h. This restriction isn't part of RFC 2396, and although
it's there to help flag DOS file names, it makes it impossible for users who
literally mean to specify URIs with one character scheme names.
I think if this isn't intended to be fixed it should at least be marked as a
limitation within the documentation for Xerces so users know what behaviour
to
expect.
I certainly wouldn't expect if I specified a base URI of http://a/b/c/d/e;
and
relative URI of g:h that the resolved URI be http://a/b/c/d/g:h; instead
of g:h.
Relevant production:
scheme = alpha *( alpha | digit | + | - | . )
