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.
Alternatively, has anyone else tried this?
