It doesn't appear to me that the flag on XML::Parser 'default_load_external_dtd" works.
Looking at the source: VALUE ruby_xml_parser_default_load_external_dtd_get(VALUE class) { if (xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefaultValue) return(Qtrue); else return(Qfalse); } I think the variable to set here should be xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue, not xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefaultValue. This can be verified with a small test: require 'xml/libxml' puts "Load DTD: #{XML::Parser.default_load_external_dtd}" XML::Parser.default_load_external_dtd = true puts "Load DTD: #{XML::Parser.default_load_external_dtd}" Which outputs (incorrectly I believe): Load DTD: false Load DTD: false However, changing this variable still does not make the above test case work and the DTD is still loaded when I parse the document. Any suggestions? --Paul _______________________________________________ libxml-devel mailing list libxml-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/libxml-devel
