  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>Having tried various browsers (IE, NetScape, Opera) and OS' (Windows and
  35 </I>&gt;<i>Linux) I am still unable to get a complete XML download from the httpd
  36 </I>&gt;<i>module. Both Opera and IE fail at the same point. Although I can get
  37 </I>&gt;<i>a &quot;correctly&quot; closed page (as in a subset of all records appear) with
  38 </I>&gt;<i>Netscape, not all records are listed (for example, not one of the
  39 </I>&gt;<i>admin/oper nicks are listed in the XML download!).
  40 </I>[...]
  41 &gt;<i>At present I know that admin and oper listed nicks do not display in the
  42 </I>&gt;<i>XML download. Forbidden and noexpire nicks also seem to not display. There
  43 </I>&gt;<i>are also a large number of other nicks that do not display. Without
  44 </I>&gt;<i>checking every nick in the database I cannot confirm why they are affected.
  45 </I>
  46      I can't reproduce this--I get a complete download (or at least what
  47 looks like a complete download without feeding it back to the importer; at
  48 the least I get channel information and oper/admin nicks).
  49
  50 &gt;<i>Since the import/export option is something that would prove useful in a
  51 </I>&gt;<i>number of scenarios, maybe in addition to the XML feature there could be an
  52 </I>&gt;<i>exporter (either in Services itself or as a seperate program similar to the
  53 </I>&gt;<i>convertdb tools) which would export/import to/from say plain text or CSV
  54 </I>&gt;<i>format.
  55 </I>
  56      Um, why?  There's nothing special about XML that would cause this
  57 problem to happen.  I'm using XML because it's self-documenting as to the
  58 meaning of each field.  If you don't like XML write your own converter to
  59 something else.
  60
  61 &gt;<i>I imagine this is all partly down to the fact that the xml output appears
  62 </I>&gt;<i>to get confused part way through (Netscape output follows)...
  63 </I>&gt;<i>...
  64 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;nickgroupinfo&gt;
  65 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;id&gt;266&lt;/id&gt;
  66 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;nicks count='1'&gt;
  67 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;array-element&gt;TamperProof&lt;/array-element&gt;
  68 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;/nicks&gt;
  69 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;mainnick&gt;0&lt;/mainnick&gt;
  70 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;pass&gt;2it_message&gt;Diego&lt;/quit_message&gt;
  71 </I>&gt;<i>&lt;/serverstats&gt;
  72 </I>&gt;<i>....
  73 </I>
  74      I don't get this either, at least with the previous copy of your
  75 databases that you sent me.  Send me the current versions and I'll try
  76 again.
