IIRC, some browsers (can't remember which ones) choke on the XMLDecl when it
specifies an encoding; because you're parsing a String, which is a stream of
characters, and encodings only applies to streams of bytes (to actually turn
the bytes into characters).
Try trimming the XMLDecl from your XML before giving it to
XMLParser.parse().
Something like (untested):
if (xml.substring(0, 5).equalsIgnoreCase("<?xml")) {
xml = xml.substring(xml.indexOf("?>") + 2);
}
Best would of course be to emit the encoding in the Content-Type HTTP header
(application/xml; charset=UTF-8) and not send the XMLDecl at all.
