XML request error: OK (200)

Hi, I can't seem to get rid of this error while trying to enable image browsing/uploading.

Looking at the text from the error, it seems like a valid XML.
I have tried both the 2.5 beta and 2.4.3 release.

Regards
Oli

Yes, that's strange because it looks fine.

You can try to use the test page (in the connectors folder) to check the full response from the server, maybe there's something at the end that prevents the page to be parsed as XML. And test also with Firefox.

Internet explorer showed a "Access Denied" javascript error for the test page.

Firefox showed the XML content but with this notification:

"
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
"

File browsing does work in Firefox. So, this is an IE problem. But since 90% of my users use IE I need to fix this somehow.

You should really make sure that only authenticated users can access the connector

Loading it in IE says that there's a problem with an invalid character, Maybe it's referring to "#" in "Brix 09-12-07#2(1).jpg"
Try to rename those files, and test again. If it fails check also some other chars like "&", and then update this thread or even better create a bug so it can be properly followed.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I can't really moderate the characters uploaded. Why take the chance that a user could upload a bad name and stop the system from working. Besides it used to work on a previous release.

How do I lock down the connectors? One of the reasons I upgraded was that someone had uploaded porn html files with links and submitted them to yahoo/google. (stumbled upon them 1 1/2 months after)

So, this is a bug request.

The first step to fix the problem would be to understand exactly what's the problem.
So please, test as I suggested renaming the files that might be troublesome to find out what's your problem

Don't set $Config['Enabled'] = true ;, check instead with a session variable that the user has been authenticated previously, or set the whole connector folder under a password with .htaccess
