Exception when adding a Webpage with '&' within the url

[Josef Biehler]

Hello,

Sometimes i got errors like those in my log:

 <errormsg>DOMDocument::loadXML(): EntityRef: expecting ';' in Entity, line: 200</errormsg>
<errornum>2</errornum>
<errortype>Warning</errortype>
<scriptname>D:\xampp\htdocs\XiboServer\lib\service\xmdssoap.class.php</scriptname>
<scriptlinenum>682</scriptlinenum>

Today i tried to look after the source of these errors.
I put an Debug::LogEntry to line 680 of the xmdssoap class to see what data are causing that.

After analysing this error occurs because there are chars like '&' in the log sent from the client to the server:

</trace><trace date="2012-09-14 11:19:56" category="MainForm - DestoryLayout">Calling Dispose Region
</trace><trace date="2012-09-14 11:19:56" category="Audit">Disposing http://localhost:1234/XiboServer/xibo_ext/modules/display/xibo_weather.connector.php?mod=city&city=Moosbach&zipcode=92709&time=average&day=1&day=0&
</trace><trace date="2012-09-14 11:19:56" category="Audit">Disposed http://localhost:1234/XiboServer/xibo_ext/modules/display/xibo_weather.connector.php?mod=city&city=Moosbach&zipcode=92709&time=average&day=1&day=0&
</trace><trace date="2012-09-14 11:19:56" category="Region - Dispose">Media Disposed by Region

(these regions contain webpages with the urls given in the log. Are Urls with parameter "not supported"?)

I think i can encode the log by changing the client code but before i wanted to know if there is a known bug (and therefore a bugfix for it)?

Im using Xibo 1.2.2 but i have tested it with 1.3 with the same result.

After escaping special chars like '&' to '&amp;' the error doesn't occur anymore.

StR:
1. Place Webpage with url like 'http://localhost/?i=1&b=asd' onto region
2. enable logging
3. Start client
4. close client to force client to dispose its content
