 G'day,

I've managed to do xi:include via http, ala the following:

<xi:include href="http://127.0.0.1/Task.xml"; xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; />

This builds fine with Publican.

However, when I try to do the same thing via https, ala the following:

<xi:include href="https://svn.server.com/TopicRepository/Concepts/Task.xml"; xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; />

I get the following output from publican:

FATAL ERROR: XInclude:1604 in DITA_Topics_in_Docbook.xml on line 9: could not load https://svn.server.com/TopicRepository/Concepts/Task.xml, and no fallback was found
 at /usr/bin/publican line 622

A possibly relevant issue is that the svn server uses a self-signed certificate. After much wrangling, I installed that certificate in the openssl framework on my machine, and I can now download the Task.xml file using wget with no security warning, so it's not the self-signed certificate (if libxml is using openssl).

Is there any way I can get more detailed error message reporting from the libXML Perl module in publican to help figure out where the roadblock is? I tried looking through the libxml source code, but I can't get my head around the c.

This would require code changes, please open a bug along the lines of "all file parsing should have verbose output unless --quite is on".

Alternatively, has anyone else tried this?

I did a google search and it doesn't appear libXML2 includes SSL support.

From http://www.xmlsoft.org/intro.html:

Here are some key points about libxml:
...
Basic support for HTTP and FTP client allowing applications to fetch remote resources.

Cheers, Jeff.
