#580 WebClient.getPage exception on XML if WebClient is FIREFOX_2

[Ellecer Valencia]

I'm testing HtmlUnit for a component we're writing that will be dealing with HTML and XML from a website. It seems to fail when the BrowserVersion of WebClient is FIREFOX_2.

(The settings.xml below is just a sample maven settings.xml file on my machine. Any valid xml file will do for this test)

This works:

final WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
final XmlPage page = (XmlPage) webClient.getPage("http://127.0.0.1/settings.xml");

And this:

final WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.INTERNET_EXPLORER_6_0);
final XmlPage page = (XmlPage) webClient.getPage("http://127.0.0.1/settings.xml");

This fails:

final WebClient client = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_2);
final XmlPage page = (XmlPage) webClient.getPage("http://127.0.0.1/settings.xml");

and throws exception:

I also tested this with one of the unit tests in HtmlUnit - testValidDocument. It makes use of testXmlDocument - modified that so instead of WebClient(), it uses WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_2)

Unit test fails after that change.

Thanks for reporting.

The problem as been fixed since HtmlUnit-1.14 (see http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/gettingLatestCode.html for how to get the latest snapshot)
