Hey everyone, I've been working on parsing rss feeds with libxml-ruby, and everything seemed to be working great until I ran across files without namespaces defined. For example, if I try to parse this semi-valid xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss version="2.0" > <channel> <media:thumbnail url="http://nowhere.com/test.jpg"/> </channel> </rss> libxml strips the media namespace out of media:thumbnail. Is there a way to make libxml be less strict about namespaces? Also, if I try to do an xpath search using a nonexistant namespace, such as doc.root.search("itunes:keywords") I get an error: Undefined namespace prefix xmlXPathCompiledEval: evaluation failed Some googling tells me I need to register the namespace, but I couldn't figure out how to do that with the Ruby bindings. I guess this post basically boils down to two questions: 1) Is it possible to turn off strict namespace checking? 2) How do I register a namespace using the ruby bindings?
