Daniel, just for the record, the problem occurs with “1>2?[3] as Set:null” and similar expressions. It is not caused, far as I understand, solely by “as”, but rather by a combination with the “safe” (non-NPE) indexing syntax, as Paul mentioned before. > On 16 May 2020, at 2:51, Daniel.Sun wro

parsing multipart/related soaps?

Hi there, I am working with SOAP through the groovy-wslite library (willing to switch to another if there's one, but haven't found any other). The problem is the server gives me multipart/related responses, which cause the groovy-wslite SAX parser to choke on “Content is not allowed in prolog”.
