| Subject: | XMLRPC::Lite "wrong element 'nil'" exception on '<value><nil/></value>' |
XMLRPC::Lite 0.68 generates an exception when a clause like:
'<value><nil/></value>'
is encountered in a legal methodResponse, like the one attached,
is parsed. The same methodResponse parses fine with XML::Parse .
The attached SOAP-Lite-0.68-nil-value.patch fixes the problem,
and is already applied in the latest Fedora Extras
perl-SOAP-Lite-0.68-1.fc6 RPM.
Is there something not allowed about a '<value><nil/></value>' clause ?
If so, please let us know what is wrong with it.
If not, please apply the patch / fix the issue in the next
perl-SOAP-Lite release - our big XMLRPC app generates lots of
such clauses .
Thank you,
