---------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
     Assign To:     (was: rpc-dev mailing list)

Version 1 is no longer supported. It is unknown, whether the problem still applies to version 2. If it does: It doesn't seem to make sense to introduce a very incompatible change at this point of the maintenance. It is recommended to use another XML parser than MinML. Version 3 uses another XML parser anyways.

> I've got an application that performs an XML-RPC call that contains an argument 
> that is an array of strings. I encountered a problem when a string in the array 
> is set to all spaces, when the actual method call is invoked the string is 
> empty. It no longer contains the spaces. 
> I did a little debugging and found that the removal of the spaces occured 
> within the default XML parser, MinML. 
> Using a test program and running MinML outside of XML-RPC I found that the 
> parser was not emiting characters if an element contained only spaces. Running 
> my simple test file through other parsers (xerces and Piccolo), these programs 
> did emit the spaces. 
> Example file contained
> <t1>    </t1>
