#185 HTTPS error while running guidelines generation process
Is anyone else getting this problem when trying to run the EpiDoc Guidelines generation process? It seems to be caused by a copy of charDecl.xml hosted in a Github site, which seems like a pretty fragile dependency for the EpiDoc GLs already. Can we remove this dependency, or at least fix this bug in the short term?
[Saxon-PE 9.6.0.5] FODC0002: I/O error reported by XML parser processing
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EpiDoc/Stylesheets/g/charDecl.xml: There
was a problem establishing the secure HTTPS connection. In case the server
you are trying to connect to uses self-signed certificates, read the
'Troubleshooting HTTPS' section from the user manual. Full error message:
Remote host closed connection during handshake
I have temporarily changed the hard link to the githubusercontent site to a relative link within the EpiDoc directory structure (in epidoc-html.xsl (sourceforge.net)), which works so long as you have checked out or downloaded the whole EpiDoc repo from Sourceforge (which pulls in the Stylesheets from Github as an SVN external) when you run the Guidelines generation process.
I suspect this is not an ideal solution, and maybe it breaks other things? I consider this bug still to be open and still to be urgent therefore.
Using a relative path should be fine, so closing.
