Strange error

Hello,

I am trying to a load a RSS with some really simple
code. However when I run the code I got this error:

'', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character. Line
1, position 1.

Though the rss seems to me well formed. Here is the code
and the rss.

TestRSS("http://www-
106.ibm.com/developerworks/news/dw_webservices. rss")

Function TestRSS(ByVal strRSS As String)
Dim reader As New XmlTextReader(s trRSS)
' Load the XmlTextReader to the XmlDocument
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument
Try
xmlDoc.Load(rea der)
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write( "ERR in Rss File:" & strRSS
& "<br>")
Response.Write( "Err: RSS File:" & ex.Message
& "<br>")
Response.Write( "Exiting function
ReadPosts:<br>" )
Exit Function
End Try

' load only the item nodes
Dim nodes As XmlNodeList = xmlDoc.SelectNo des
("/rss/channel/item")

' Now we have all posts
For Each node As XmlNode In nodes
Try

Response.Write( node("title").I nnerXml
& "<br>")
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write( "ERR in loading nodes: " &
ex.Message() & "<br>")
End Try
Next
End Function

Many thanks

If a document has is character value of 0x1F, then it is impossible for the
document to be well-formed XML. From the XML specification [1] here are the
valid character ranges:

Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] |
[#x10000-#x10FFFF]

That omits #x1F, so it's not XML.

Cheers,

I have an application that has been working just fine for a couple of years. It queries a SQL database and returns some formatted data back to the client.

Hello, I have a really strange problem. I'm unable to figure it out on my own. I parse very simple xml documents, without any check for their form. These files look very similar and are encoded in UTF-8. Now minidom is always able to parse these files with minidom.parse("file") . Now when fetching I use this expression: xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('DocNumb').firstChild.data.encode('latin1')
