Re: Swiss AMOS - 737-800 MPD upload in XML format - File Transfer Failed Error.

Dear Laurie,

since you posted on a public list, I allow myself to answer.

I would suspect you are hitting the protection measures described in this blog entry:
	http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/2007/w3centities.ent
I understand they happen when traditional parsing pipelines crawl the whole DTD stacks even though most of the entries are already downloaded quite often and/or could be delivered with the software.

The blog entry gives some hints how to solve the issues.
Hope it helps.

paul
