Understanding NSXMLParserErrorDomain error messages

    I've been doing some work recently working to make the WP iPhone app a bit more user-friendly when it comes to error messages and adding a blog for the first time.

    This has resulted in several fixes are available in the 2.0 version. One will give you the ability to enter your xmlrpc endpoint manually if it can't be found by the app. Another catches HTML errors and presents them for a clearer understanding of what's going on.

    However, it will always be possible to get NSXMLParserErrorDomain errors (especially from a self-hosted blog) because they refer to errors in the parsing of the XML returned from the blog. Themes or custom php code that results in malformed XML are the common causes.

    Even if the iPhone application is going to ignore the specific "component" the parsing can break if XML is malformed.

    In the 1.3 version, these errors can occur because the server HTML error message was processed by the XML Parser. This is fixed in 2.0.

    Once you're using WP for iPhone 2.0 or later, the error should be a hint about the way in which XML is malformed. A good test is to remove custom code or turn off themes and then try to connect again.

    In order to understand these errors, I've provided a link for you techies to the Apple web page which documents them. For those of you who just want to know the meaning of the message, please look for the number in the list below and read the associated (terse) description further down the page.

    This list is a copy from the Apple page, and therefore is subject to any changes made by Apple since it was posted.

    Here is the link .

    Here is the list from the link as of this post's date:
