Unexpected end of file when running batch

I am running saxon-ee-9.3.0.5 using the command line interface to transform directories of XML files. This error is reported, often several times with different input files: I/O error reported by XML parser processing file:/D/Toyota/DEV/SVG/120025C.SVG: Unexpected end of file from server While processing 120025C.SVG: Run-time errors were reported On a directory containing 1000 input files, I typically see 50 to 100 errors, but the numbers are pretty erratic. However, I can rerun the process on the same directory and have a different set files give the above error. I have tested in Solaris and Ubuntu environments with both local and networked disk and the errors occur in all environments; they are repeatable but not predictable. I can run the same set of files through the transformation process specifying a single input file rather than a directory, (one input file and one JVM,) and have processed about 30,000 files this way in the past day and an I/O error was reported on only one. Has anyone else experienced this?

Strange - haven't seen anything like this before. Do any of the files require access to web resources, e.g. DTDs hosted on the W3C server?

My experience is that the processor is looking for a file. When it does not find it, it sends back this type of error. "Unexpected end of file from server" -mike

I am using -dtd:off, however the files are svg and do reference "http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd" I had two cases (out of about 58k) where it reported Server returned HTTP response code: 502 for URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd which I attributed to a network glitch, and those occurred when I was processing a single file at a time rather than the entire directory. It did not report the unexpected end of file, which does occur frequently when giving if a directory rather than a file.

The DTD reference explains the problem. W3C no longer guarantee to satisfy requests for these common DTD URL's - they can't cope with the traffic. -dtd:off suppresses DTD validation, but the DTD is still fetched for other purposes (such as entity expansion). The answer is to use catalogs to redirect the reference to a local copy. The next Saxon release will have improved support for this (though logically, this is a function that really belongs with the XML parser...)
