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

Sorry Laurie,

I copied the URL wrong in my mail:
	http://www.w3.org/blog/systeam/2008/02/08/w3c_s_excessive_dtd_traffic/
is the blog entry that I mentioned.

> Thank you for your response and yes I do understand that we are hitting a protection measure but how do I go about obtaining the license if required or access to be able to continue my process to load the Boeing MPD data into our system for processing?

There is no way to obtain a license from w3c that I know of, in order to avoid these pulls.

As indicated in the blog entries, parsers should be caching properly and if not, you might be using a proxy or trying to configure the parser to avoid loading such widespread DTDs. The usage of XML catalogs has been designed for this. 

At worst, you could also use http proxies that would do the caching for you. All command-line told that manipulate XML that I know of accept being configured for proxies.

I kind of understand that one single download per minute is likely to be completely worry free.
Considering these documents change less than once in 10 years, I think it is worth it.

paul
