Re: [xml-dev] Canonicalization software
Elliotte,
I'm wondering how you are going to test these tools. The
canonicalization process should not change the data, though it will
re-order attributes and change prefixes.
You'd be welcome to use DeltaXML to compare the pre-canonical
form with the canonical form for your test data - either online
at
or let me know and we can provide a command-line version for you
(you'd be better off with this if you are using local DTDs).
Look forward to hearing your results!
Robin

Turns out you don't need xmlsec; the interesting parts are
bundled into the gnome XML library; the testC14N program will generate
canonical output from arguments on its command line.
I downloaded and installed it from the W3C CVS, but even after upgrading libxml to the latest 2.6.5 version, it flunks its own regression tests. I'm not sure whether the bug is in the Python code or libxml. :-(
