Hi,
I have been puzzled at a pair of strange warning messages over the last
few years, but can't hold the curiosity any longer.
So here is my question.
During the invocation of TB |make mozmill| test suite by running locally
produced DEBUG version of C-C test, I have seen the following error
messages in the log.
Below, 35 is the number of times the error was seen in the latest run.
The next [4482] is a sample of the process ID and should be ignored.
35 [4482] WARNING: Failed to open external DTD: publicId
"-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" systemId
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"; base
"file:///NREF-COMM-CENTRAL/comm-central/mail/themes/linux/mail/tabs/selected-start.svg"
URL "resource://gre/res/dtd/svg11.dtd": file
/NREF-COMM-CENTRAL/comm-central/mozilla/parser/htmlparser/nsExpatDriver.cpp,
line 705
35 [4482] WARNING: Failed to open external DTD: publicId
"-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" systemId
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"; base
"file:///NREF-COMM-CENTRAL/comm-central/mail/themes/linux/mail/tabs/selected-end.svg"

It seems that the TB binary seems to try to access external DTD and
failed(?).
From what I read in the past, W3C's position seems to be that
the web resource of W3C should not be accessed during the runtime for
obvious performance reasons, and the application is encouraged to have
a local copy anyway.
But if my reading of the code was correct, it was as if TB by way of
mozilla library was doing just that (?)
Or is it simply TB's packaging forgets to place svg11.dtd in the
expected place?
Any sensible explanation why this is happening (or not) and why we have
this pair of warning messages printed during the execution of the DEBUG
version of C-C TB is appreciated.
These messages were visible in January 2013 and possibly earlier.
I have deleted the log due to space reasons :-(
Actually, I see another failure of opening external DTD, but it occurs
just once, so it is not THAT disturbing.
I can wait for the explanation for *THAT*: xhtml11.dtd.
(Maybe the explanation for the pair of messages would solve the puzzle
for this one, too.)
1 [5300] WARNING: Failed to open external DTD: publicId ""
systemId "resource:///res/dtd/xhtml11.dtd" base
"moz-nullprincipal:{e2a85fc4-28dc-412e-befa-2feaea7c9705}" URL
"resource://gre/res/dtd/xhtml11.dtd": file
/NREF-COMM-CENTRAL/comm-central/mozilla/parser/htmlparser/nsExpatDriver.cpp,
line 705
The last message started to appear in my local log in March 2013 for the
first time. Maybe it might have something to do with moz-nullprincipal
thingy (for security hardening).
TIA
