OpenClipArt importing parse error

4 Apr 2011


      Not sure how to go about getting help on this so I am posting here.
Inkscape Version: Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654
Problem: Open Clip Art import/search dialogue results do not appear.
Error Message: On console, I see the following when searching for "router":
% inkscape
http://openclipart.org/media/feed/rss/router:1: parser error : StartTag:
invalid element name
<!doctype html>
 ^
http://openclipart.org/media/feed/rss/router:1: parser error : Extra content
at the end of the document
<!doctype html>
 ^
Suspicion: It would appear that the Open Clip Art web server does not like
Inkscape's ":1:" being appended to the query.
Reproducibility: Click File > Import from Open Clip Art Library > [Enter
search term] > [See no results]
Visiting those URLs in a browser show's this error coming back from Open
Clip Art's server.
Removing the :1: seems to alleviate the problem..
Is this addressed in another release of Inkscape?
