[OAI-implementers] Error in Request

[Xiaoming Liu]

Nava,

In your XML response, it looks like there is one blank line in front of  
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

In W3C document, "XML documents should begin with an XML declaration which
specifies the version of XML being used", probably the blank line confuses
parser.

I use XMLSpy to read your xml response, and remove the blank line, it
passes well-formed inspection and doesn't show "XML parsing error" again.


Hope it helps,
Xiaoming Liu
