Re: Strange SOAP or XML parsing bug

Hi Simon, Can you provide some queries you did to repro the problem? Shane

"php" and "monkey" both resulted in the error I describe. I haven't tried the new SOAP_Google class from PEAR yet but having glanced at the code it looks like it should suffer from the same problems. Cheers, Simon

Sorry for the vague description but I'm not entirely sure where this bug is located. While playing with the new Google Web API (using the PEAR SOAP package) I came across a strange bug. For some queries sent to Google the returned XML was deciphered prefectly, but a few queries resulted in a PEAR_Error object announcing "XML error on line X: not well-formed (invalid token)".
