RE: expat and leading white spaces

Hi All

I would like to strip off any leading spaces before any XML files.

I understand the best way to do is to manually strip off any leading
spaces before invoking the parser. Looking at the Libwww code and the
XML integration, I fail (much to my experience with libwww) to
understand where to put the hooks in. I looked at the concept of filters
before and after but it seems that using those is too late to do the
needfull.

So I supposed I have to do the stripping on the xml stream. Can anyone
help me with this. Do I have to stream conversions .... (iu have no
clue..)

Any help is appreciated.


Thanks
raj

Subject: expat and leading white spaces


I was looking around to see if there might be a way to allow
expat/libwww to accept xml files with leading white spaces before the
standard <?xml version="1.0" ?> line without invoking the
XML_ERROR_MISPLACED_XML_PI.
 
I know that it is invalid to do so but this is one of those quirky
requests to make the parser less forgiving for this case.
 
Any help appreciated
Thanks
