I have a cgi program that gets an valid XML and then parses it
using XML::SAX::ParserFactory, the parsing fails with the following
error:
[Wed Jul 20 17:23:23 2005] [error] [Wed Jul 20 17:23:23 2005] -e:

I believe that the parsing fails because it can not get to the DTD (since the server is behind a firewall) but
it is not clear to me why it attempts to connect to the dtd at:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/DTD/pubmed_041101.dtd
since
XML::SAX::ParserFactory by default does not do any validation and in
my program i did not change the default settings of the parser.
any ideas?
Thanks
