Subject: cannot get remote XML data
I am unable to process 'remote' XML output from a website using DBD::AnyData. However, if I pull down this same data to a file and then use the filename instead of the website URL, I can read in the data without any problem. Here is the program: use DBI; my $dbh=DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData(RaiseError=>1):'); $dbh->func( 'test', 'XML', 'http://localhost:8080/FMPro?-db=fbsccopy.fp5&-format=-dso_xml&-find', { 'record_tag' => 'ROW' }, 'ad_import'); $all = $dbh->selectall_arrayref(qq{ SELECT * FROM test }); $j=0; foreach $rowRef (@$all) { $i=0; foreach (@$rowRef) { print "column $i ==> $_\n"; $i++; } $j++; } When I run the above program, I get the following errors: Execution ERROR: Couldn't find column names! called from ./test_anydata_xml5.pl at 4. Execution ERROR: Couldn't find column names! called from ./test_anydata_xml5.pl at 6. DBD::AnyData::db selectall_arrayref failed: Execution ERROR: Couldn't find column names! called from ./test_anydata_xml5.pl at 6. DBD::AnyData::db selectall_arrayref failed: Execution ERROR: Couldn't find column names! called from ./test_anydata_xml5.pl at 6. If I use curl to get the web page and save it to a file, then substitute the file name for the URL in the above program, the program works. I do have LWP installed, and verified that it worked by getting the web page and printing it: use LWP::UserAgent; my $file = 'http://localhost:8080/FMPro?-db=fbsccopy.fp5&-format=-dso_xml&-find'; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $file); my $res = $ua->request($req); die "[$file] : " . $res->message if !$res->is_success; print $res->content,"\n"; I have tried this under both Mac OS X (perl 5.8.4) and Linux (perl 5.8.0). I am using DBD-AnyData-0.08 and AnyData-0.10.
Has there been any update on this? It's 8 years on and the bug persists.
