depending on other people’s stuff

Filed under: work solutions — Tom @ 3:13 pm

Today help.unc.edu had some problems. Some of the documents were causing Cocoon to spin out into space and never return. The cause? Well, the DOCTYPE declaration on the top of some of the xhtml fragments that we pre-publish. The W3 site was down (www.w3.org) and Cocoon was trying to get the XHTML transitional dtd from that site.

    Yikes! That’s what you get for depending on those Internets. A small suggestion, rsync with the w3.org site nightly to get an uptodate local copy of the dtd then tell the doctype to look locally instead of going out of the local net.
