Re^2: run script in taint mode

I c/p your code and I replaced the path and with my xml-file and ran it from the command line

and I get the following error.

Content-Type: text/plain

Name contains invalid start character: '&#x3C;'
[download]

I think it might has something to do with the data in the XML , but how should I untaint the data ?

That doesn't sound like a taint error. It sounds like bad XML. That code value is a 'left arrow' (<). You might get an error like that if somewhere in your data you had something like '<<something '. Does my script work if you turn off 'taint'? If it does, then the next thing I would look for is something like an external entity in a DTD that is trying to import a file with a '<' character in the name....	[reply]
