Net Accessor for Solaris

[Sean MacRoibeaird - Sun ireland - Solaris Software - Staff Engineer <Se...@ireland.sun.com>]

Hi,

I've ported Xalan-C & Xerces-c to Solaris 2.8 (SC5.0 C++ compiler). I am trying 
to run the various XSL tests from the alphaworks site, but I forgot to build 
Xerces-C to use a net accessor so that statements containing URLs can be parsed 
by Xalan, e.g.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0">

Does anybody know of a libwww or alternative implementation for Xerces-C which 
has been ported to Solaris?

Regards,

Sean

The latest (post Xerces-C 1.1.0) source code base has a native
socket based simple implementation which can access HTTP URL's.
If you are behind a firewall, then you will have to 'socksify'
your XML application for it work. In 'runConfigure', this NetAccessor
is the default choice under all Unix platforms. Under Windows,
the default setting in the project files in the repository is
still 'fileOnly'.
