xml in response not well formed

[Martin]

Hello All, sorry for the bother I am having an issue with Version
1.99.1 (2011-09-22 16:59:24) stable release. It seems to be that there
are some problems when parsing the .xml view file, not sure. I have a
function (device_cfg) in controllers/default.py, which performs some
processing and pass to the view the following
dictionary:

return dict(operation=operation, op_response=op_response)

with:
operation = "get_leafs"
op_response = "True"

The following code is the view (device_cfg.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
{{if operation == 'get_containers':}}
{{parent_id = op_response['parent_id']}}
{{childs_list = op_response['childs_list']}}
<root>
{{for node in childs_list:}}
<item id="{{=node[0]}}" parent_id="{{=parent_id}}"
state="closed">
<content>
<name><![CDATA[{{=node[1]}}]]></name>
</content>
</item>
{{pass}}
</root>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'get_leafs':}}
{{limit = op_response['limit']}}
{{parent_id = op_response['parent_id']}}
{{childs_list = op_response['childs_list']}}
{{page = op_response['page']}}
{{start = op_response['start']}}
{{iter = op_response['iter']}}
{{total_pages = op_response['total_pages']}}

<rows>
<page>{{ =page }}</page>
<total>{{ =total_pages }}</total>
<records>{{ =len(childs_list) }}</records>
{{for i in iter:}}
{{node = childs_list[i]}}
<row id = '{{=node[0]}}'>
<cell>{{=node[0]}}</cell>
<cell>{{=node[1]}}</cell>
<cell>{{=node[2]}}</cell>
</row>
{{pass}}
</rows>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'leaf_remove':}}
<result>{{=op_response}}</result>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'leaf_create':}}
<result>{{=op_response}}</result>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'leaf_modify':}}
<result>{{=op_response}}</result>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'container_remove':}}
<result>{{=op_response}}</result>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'container_create':}}
<result>{{=op_response}}</result>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'container_edit':}}
<result>{{=op_response}}</result>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'validate_commit':}}
<response>
<result>{{=op_response[0]}}</result>
<feedback>{{=op_response[1]}}</feedback>
</response>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'validate_commit_cancel':}}
<result>{{=op_response}}</result>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'get_ns_map':}}
<rows>
<page>{{=1}}</page>
<total>{{=1}}</total>
<records>{{=len(op_response)}} </records>
{{i=0}}
{{for ns in op_response:}}
<row id="{{=i}}">
<cell>{{=ns}}</cell>
<cell><![CDATA["{{=op_response[ns]}}"]]></cell>
</row>
{{i += 1}}
{{pass}}
</rows>
{{pass}}

{{if operation == 'push_config':}}
<response>
<result>{{=op_response[0]}}</result>
<feedback>{{=op_response[1]}}</feedback>
</response>
{{pass}}


The expected replied xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result>True</result>

But it returns:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result>True</result>
<total>1.0</total>
<records>2</records>
<row id = '2'>
<cell>2</cell>
<cell>ns1:max-lease-time</cell>
<cell>asds</cell>
</row>
<row id = '3'>
<cell>3</cell>
<cell>ns1:default-lease-time</cell>
<cell>600</cell>
</row>
</rows>

Firefox is complaining with the following error code: "XML Parsing
Error: junk after document element Location: moz-nullprincipal:
{c9878540-af47-407f-b97b-4709a9fcecdf} Line Number 26, Column 3:
<total>1.0</total>".

I have checked the view several times and I am not able to figure out
what is going on. Could someone please help me?...

Any help will be appreciated!

I appologize: the variables passed to the view are:

operation = "leaf_modify"
op_response = "True"

FWIW, it looks to me like the extra lines are left over from a previous response (or something like that) and not being generated by this particular invocation of the view.

Why that would happen I have no idea.

[Martin]

yes, you are right, because the variables for the following xml part
it suppose to be not available for current request, which corresponds
to operation == 'get_leafs'...

Can you get a look at the Content-length header of the response?

Well, that's interesting. There are certainly more than 85 characters in the content you originally quoted. It might be worth trying another browser, if you can.

[Martin]

I tested with Chrome and I don't have the issue... so, it seems to be
that it's in the Firefox side... this is really weird...

Thank you very much for your help Jonathan, I will include a
restriction to open the application just with Chrome...

Much appreciated!
