Bug#542000: Tries to load DTDs from the network

Mon Aug 17 09:06:31 UTC 2009

Package: libxalan2-java
Version: 2.7.1-5
Severity: grave

Running "java -jar /usr/share/java/xalan2.jar -DIAG -XSL t.xsl -IN
References.html", I receive the following error message:

(Location of error unknown)java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd

References.html starts like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

It seems that W3C has begun enforcing some sort of AUP on their DTD
repository.

This should also be fixed for stable and oldstable.
