possible bug -- couldn't include file

[Will Glass-Husain <wg...@forio.com>]

Hi,

I tried to include a text file in a velocity page and got an error that it
couldn't include the file despite it being in the template path.  I removed
most of the text-- it worked.  I put the text back-- it didn't work.  After
much trial and error, I discovered that the file had been corrupted with a
dozen instances of hex character "A0" instead of a space "20".  Don't know
why.  Removing these characters with a hex editor fixed the problem.

The error message (reproduced below) was pretty unhelpful, so I thought this
might be a bug in Velocity.  (and in fact, incorrect as the file was
present).  Any comments?  Thanks.

Best, WILL

Geir,

This is very similar (perhaps identical) to the problem I've experienced.  I
did a workaround by changing the input encoding, so the file (which was a
html page created by a 3rd party) finally loaded (also using '#include()',
see my messages last week).  But I had to use a different encoding on the
output, and I still have some characters (notably hex 95, 96 and 97) which
are displayed as '?'.

Regards,

Terry

PS: I believe I attached a copy of the offending file.  Were you able to try
it yourself?

That's *bizarre*.
