ORA-31001 from xmlparser.parse / dbms_xmlParser.parse with a HTTPS url

(Doc ID 1065066.1)

Last updated on OCTOBER 21, 2010

Applies to:

Oracle Server - Enterprise Edition - Version: 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1.0 - Release: 10.2 to 11.2
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

The following sample code

set serveroutput on
set echo on

declare
reportURL VARCHAR2(128);
MyParser xmlparser.Parser;
MyXML xmltype;
MyDOMDoc xmldom.DOMDocument;
begin
-- This is the URL to get the report
reportURL := 'https://myserver.oracle.com:1445/Employee.xml';

dbms_output.put_line('reportURL is :');
dbms_output.put_line(reportURL);

MyParser := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parse(MyParser,reportURL);
MyDOMDoc := xmlParser.getDocument(MyParser);
xmldom.freeDocument(MyDOMDoc);
xmlParser.freeParser(MyParser );
end;
/

Fails when xmlparser.parse is called with a HTTPS url:

13 MyParser := xmlparser.newParser;
14 xmlparser.parse(MyParser,reportURL);
15 MyDOMDoc := xmlParser.getDocument(MyParser);
16 xmldom.freeDocument(MyDOMDoc);
17 xmlParser.freeParser(MyParser );
18 end;
19 /
reportURL is :
https://myserver.oracle.com:1445/Employee.xml
declare
*

However, the same code completes successfully when ran with a regular HTTP url:

13 MyParser := xmlparser.newParser;
14 xmlparser.parse(MyParser,reportURL);
15 MyDOMDoc := xmlParser.getDocument(MyParser);
16 xmldom.freeDocument(MyDOMDoc);
17 xmlParser.freeParser(MyParser );
18 end;
19 /
reportURL is :
http://myserver.oracle.com:8082/Employee.xml

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
