Hello, I’m getting an unexpected behaviour with the serialization option include-content-type and file:write with HTML. If I write a document without a <head> element then one doesn’t get added and nothing happens.
file:write("test.htm",<html><body/></html>,map {"method":"html", "html-version":"4.0","include-content-type":"yes”})
returns:
<html>
  <body></body>
</html>
Is this correct? If there is a head then the <meta> gets added with no problems - unless there is already a meta element, in which case it gets replaced.
file:write("/Users/jb8748/test.htm",<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60" /></head><body/></html>,map {"method":"html", "html-version":"4.0","include-content-type":"yes”})
returns:
<html>
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  </head>
  <body></body>
</html>
Is this correct? All running Running Beta 8.4 f5341cc Many thanks, James

It should be, at least according to the current specification (“If there is a head element [...]”, see [1]). Hope this helps, Christian [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/CR-xslt-xquery-serialization-31-20151217/#HTML_INCLUDE-CONTENT-TYPE

Hi Christian, Thank you for that, so the first case is correct. And the second case, where existing <meta> elements are removed? I’ve just read the spec and it looks like only <meta> elements that have http-equiv should be discarded. Regards, James

Christian, Thank you. I’ve just spotted that I was unclear in my description in the last email. According to the specification only <meta> elements that have @http-equiv with a value of Content-Type should be discarded. Not any with http-equiv. Apologies for any confusion. Regards, James

No reason to be sorry; I should simply have spent a few more seconds on reading your mail and the latest version of the spec ;) The problem is now fixed [1,2].

Dear Christian, Sorry to take so long coming back to you but I’ve now had a chance to download the latest snap short (8.4 beta f5341cc) and try this. Unfortunately I’m still getting odd behaviour.
file:write(“test.html",<html><head><meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="60"/></head><body></body></html>,map {"method":"html","html-version":"5.0","include-content-type":"yes”})
I think this should give me:
<html><head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8”>
    <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="600">
  </head>
  <body>
</body></html>
But what it’s still giving me is:
<html><head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  </head>
  <body>
</body></html>
Regards, James

Dear Christian, I’ve also found another error when using include-content-type - I don’t know if this is related or will help track down the issue. I get a java.lang.NullPointerException whenever include-content-type is set to yes and there is a text node in the HTML. So for example, this will return an error:
let $html :=
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>yy</p>
</body>
</html>
return file:write("test.html",$html,map {"method":"html","html-version":"5.0","include-content-type":"yes”})
Improper use? Potential bug? Your feedback is welcome: Contact: basex-talk at mailman.uni-konstanz.de Version: BaseX 8.4 beta f5341cc Java: Oracle Corporation, 1.8.0_20 OS: Mac OS X, x86_64 Stack Trace: java.lang.NullPointerException But this will not:
let $html :=
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p></p>
</body>
</html>
return file:write("test.html",$html,map {"method":"html","html-version":"5.0","include-content-type":"yes”})
(no yy in the <p> element). Regards, James

It seems that you’ve tried an older version [1]… Could you please try again to download the latest snapshot [2]? Thanks in advance, Christian [1] https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/commit/f5341cc [2] http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/

Thanks; this one has been fixed. It takes me around 10 minutes to upload the latest snapshot, so… Sorry for letting you wait ;)

Big smiley face! I don’t know how I’ve managed to test on an older version for the other issue - I very carefully downloaded the new one (I thought) and tested in both the GUI and DBA. Computers! I will be more careful this time I promise. Regards, James
