update about the encoding bug and garbled $r object

Hello

I experimented a bit this morning, and I think I at least isolated the bugs I reported these days.

This is what I did:

* I removed the CVS modules version file by file
* I reinstalled a stable AxKit 1.6.1
* I rebuilded the CVS version *without* installing it
* I replaced the bugged XSP.pm with the one from the CVS
* From a server error, I saw Apache::AxKit::LibXMLSupport was needed
* I found the .pm files in the CVS and copied them to their location
* XSP worked, but the two errors reported yesterday remain

For completeness' sake, the two errors are reported below.

ENCODING:

I have a document that complies with a DTD I wrote myself. The document contains some entities, namely: æ and à, which are defined on the DTD as:
    <!ENTITY aelig   "&#230;" >
    <!ENTITY agrave  "&#224;" >
For compatibility with quite old browsers and OSs, I had on the configuration files these directives:
  AxTranslateOutput On
  AxOutputCharset iso-8859-1
This worked ok with AxKit 1.5. On 1.6.1-CVS (downloaded a couple of hours ago or so) it's doing strange:
* the browser correctly detects a ISO-8859-1 encoding
* &aelig; shows up as æ
* &agrave; shows up correctly
If I force the browser to UTF-8, æ shows up correctly and à is garbled.

If I comment out the two directives above:
* the browser detects a UTF-8 encoding
* again, &aelig; shows up as æ and &agrave; shows up correctly
Forcing the browser to ISO-8859-1 further garbles the output.

No problems are reported to the error log (with AxDebugLevel set to 1).

WRONG FILE NAME:

[AxKit] XSP Compilation finished
[AxKit] Turning off cache!
[AxKit] Cache: key = 682e0cfb0bb377411efcd40a3b965d7e
[AxKit] LibXSLT match_uri: /var/www/messygee/id5882.xml
[AxKit] LibXSLT open_content_uri: /var/www/messygee/id5882.xml
[AxKit] Content Provider Override: Apache::AxKit::Provider::File
[AxKit] decoding from UTF-8
[AxKit] [req] File Provider given $r: /var/www/messygee/var
[AxKit] encoding to UTF-8
[AxKit] Caught an exception
[AxKit] [UnCaught] File '/var/www/messygee/var' does not exist or is not readable

As you can see, it's trying to look into /var/www/messygee/var, which doesn't exist and that I don't set in any place.
