In fact, I get

Strangely enough, the contents appended are the correct result of the xslt transformation, even if the welcome.xml page to generate has been manually altered to be non-well-formed and trigger the error.
it seems that:
1) the parser spits the events down the pipeline even if non-wellformed content is found
2) thus the XSLT processing is still performed
3) but the exception is somewhat signaled
4) so the error notifier kicks in
5) but forget to close the output stream right after the error notification.
Now, is this a bug or a feature?
IMHO a bug.
If there is an error, the pipeline should stop dead cold and hand all to the handle-errors part of the pipeline.
One thing though is if that is an error or a warning, in that case the handle-errors should not even be called.
Either way, it's a bug.
[I personally don't think that cocoon should even emit non-well-formed content, so I would consider this a bug, but maybe there is something I overlooked]
Generally speaking this is not true. Cocoon can emit non-wellformed content, but it should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html>[the rest]</html> <error:notify>[snip]</error:notify>
This is because we don't want to buffer all the response for percieved speed reasons (and also debugging too, it's easy to see where it stops).
You came up with clever ideas about resetting via HTTP or something like that (chunking?) but I'm not able to understand a thing about it.
So currently with errors Cocoon is by design not giving well-formed content, but it's not your bug it seems, which looks real.
