http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44426 Summary: Please make catalog use default instead of an afterthough Product: XmlCommons Version: 1.x Platform: Other URL: http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-xcatalogs.html OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: ErrorMessage, XSLTBug, Xerces2, RFC Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Resolver AssignedTo: commons-dev@xml.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W3C gets an immense amount of DTD traffic with user-agent often only identifying itself as Python or Java. http://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2008/02/08/w3c_s_excessive_dtd_traffic In a number of cases we have heard back from people affected by our automated blocking indicating they are running Xalan and/or Xerces doing such things as validating XML or doing XSL transforms. We have directed some we have been in correspondence with to your catalog instructions. http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-xcatalogs.html The vast majority of Xalan/Xerces installations most likely do not implement catalogs nor caching of external DTDs and other schemata. It would seem the resolver does not care about HTTP response codes nor caching directives. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt Better than a default catalog would be a caching XML Catalog resolver as I understand is part of Glassfish http://norman.walsh.name/2007/09/07/treadLightly There are other Java libraries contributing to this traffic as well. Xalan and Xerces are widely used, important libraries. Your assistance in reducing this excessive traffic to W3C and others hosting standards schemata would be greatly appreciated. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
