Bug#567210: libsaxonb-java: doc-available always returns false without network

[brian m. carlson]

Package: libsaxonb-java
Version: 9.0.0.4+svn20080322-3
Severity: normal

In certain cases, the doc-available function wrongly returns false when
the document does, in fact, exist.  The attached testcase contains three
files.  Running "saxonb-xslt -s:foo.xml -xsl:foo.xsl" produces the
output:

Requested document is file:/tmp/saxonb-testcase/index.xhtml
Missing‽
Requested document is index.xhtml
Missing‽
Requested document is file:/tmp/saxonb-testcase/index.xhtml
Missing‽
Requested document is index.xhtml
Missing‽

Note that if Java networking works, it works correctly:

Requested document is file:/tmp/saxonb-testcase/index.xhtml
It exists!
Requested document is index.xhtml
It exists!
Requested document is file:/tmp/saxonb-testcase/index.xhtml
It exists!
Requested document is index.xhtml
It exists!

Nevertheless, there is no reason to require networking for file: URIs.
Saxon B should work correctly for file: URIs regardless of the state of
networking, period.  There is no legitimate reason to make a network
request when all documents are local.

Upon further examination, it appears that Saxon is attempting to do a
lookup of the DTD on www.w3.org, even when -expand:off and -dtd:off are
specified.  It does not use catalogs to do so, and therefore fails.
