Unable to parse DZI file with a Byte Order Mark

[macmacleannz]

I am getting the following error using dezoomify-rs

ERROR Dezoomer error: Unable to create the dezoomer: Tried all of the dezoomers, none succeeded. They returned the following errors:

 - deepzoom: Unable to create the dezoomer: Unable to parse the dzi file: Syntax: 1:1 Unexpected characters outside the root element: 

Using the same URL I have no problem using Dezoomify on the web

Any clues on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Hello, and thank you for reporting this. After investigation, I found the origin of the bug. It is in the underlying XML parser library dezoomify-rs uses: RReverser/serde-xml-rs#67

So, this issue will be resolved when RReverser/serde-xml-rs#67 is.

It looks like the developer of the underlying library is reluctant to fix this bug: netvl/xml-rs#10

Thanks for the prompt response! Do I have any other options to undertake multiple downloads? dezoomify-rs has been great for creating batch downloads.

I can add a workaround for this bug... In the meantime, there is still the node version of dezoomify

[lovasoa]

OK, I implemented a workaround for the underlying issue. I'll soon release a new version of dezoomify-rs, and you'll be able to use it with your file.

Here is the right link : https://github.com/lovasoa/dezoomify-rs/releases/tag/build-25e9c8d18aa0196c59d5e2050bd6fb3443b9fcd5
I didn't realize the release wasn't public.

Sorry to be a pain - still getting a 404....

[macmacleannz]

Ok got it now. Will let you know it works

Perfect - works as expected. Thanks for resolving this bug so promptly!
