Bug#679867: libxml2: "failed to load external entity" for HTTPS

2017-01-23 Thread Chris Adams
This is becoming a bigger problem as a greater percentage of the web moves over to HTTPS. I was trying to work on an IETF RFC draft and that's no longer possible using libxml2 because URLs like http://xml.resource.org/public/rfc/bibxml/reference.RFC.1321.xml now unconditionally redirect to HTTPS.
