Saxon » SaxonJS

Apologies, and thanks for letting us know.

It looks like we need to rebuild this zip and upload it. I have found an old (original?) version of the zip from June 2020, which contains the SaxonJS 2.0 browser runtime. But it would be good to update that to the latest version 2.6.

We test the samples (including this one) in our gradle build, but this is not yet linked to what is online under demos2 (as the documentation is for instance).

When I try running the demo locally, I actually hit an error:

Error: listen EADDRINUSE: address already in use :::5000

It seems that Macs now use this port. So we should use something else for the local server in this sample.

(Note that when we run the sample in testing, it runs off our testing server instead.)

Well, port numbers above 1024 are technically unreserved, but that's not the same as unused. I suppose the ideal thing would be to let it be configurable, but that might be more trouble than it's worth. In the meantime, there's a Wikipedia page that lists a lot of port numbers. There's a lot of contention for 5000. I see that 6311 is in the intersection of "prime numbers less than 10,000" and "port numbers not listed on that page."

I suggest we change the demo to use 6311 :-)

Thanks Debbie for this fix.
