#1040 XML Parsing error thrown when auction is added

[Anonymous]

Auction cannot be added. Could be when when auction has iterated gallery (not sure if this is cause or not, though, but likely HTML related, from trace). Example is adding auction: 180079230183. This ends with the following exception trace. The program continues as if I never added the auction at all.

May I suggest using the eBay Java API? This will avoid any broken HTML parsing implementations. Not as fun.. I know, but hey a consistent fix.

Greetings,
The eBay API is not open to sniping programs, so it's not an option. Trust me, I'd be on it in a flash, as the core trouble I regularly have with JBidwatcher is eBay's changes...

Go into the advanced configuration, and enter (as the configuration key):
show.badhtml
and as the Configuration Value enter
false

Set the configuration, save it, and restart the program.
