I am receiving a xml through a http request. The format is like this “<.?.x.m.l. .v.e.r.s.i.o.n.=.\”.1…0.\”. .e.n.c.o.d.i.n.g.=.\”.u.t.f.-.1.6.\”.?.>| etc
Then i’m getting an error: {“Name cannot begin with the ‘.’ character, hexadecimal value 0x2E. Line 1, position 2.”}
Trying to convert it to ascii like this, doesn’t solve the issue either. byte[] encodedString = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strRequest);
I need it in a utf8 format, without the “dots”.
Thx
If it’s valid UTF-16 the format each “dot” should be a \x00. But from your error it seems all your \x00 is replaced by \x2E, seems to be an artifact of copy-and-paste.
Make sure you get the data from the source unmodified. This may be enough for you to open the XML file.
