CFFeed read problem for http://data.gov.uk/rss.xml . Just me?

2010-01-21 Thread Brian McCairn

Just trying to run the following:

cffeed source = http://data.gov.uk/rss.xml; 
properties = myProps 
query = myQuery

Errors every time from CF8 with one of 2 errors (usually 1, but sometimes 2), 
either:

1. String index out of range: -1 

2.  Unable to parse the feed: Either source specified is invalid or feed is 
malformed.
Error: Invalid XML: Error on line 1: Content is not allowed in prolog. 

From CF9 developer's version it usually works fine but does occasionally error 
with one of the two errors above.

I can browse to it fine. What's wrong with my CF8?

Probably nothing. HTTP requests error out all the time. You should
ALWAYS have a heightened expectation of failure when you're making
HTTP requests, and write exception handlers accordingly.
