Radu, Thanks! I extracted all the URIs, these are xsd files that reference each other and the same namespaces, repetitively. (Not my files, I was asked to look at them.) I'll try cleaning up the namespaces, etc. and see if the error keeps up. Thanks! Patrick On 11/21/20 1:41 PM, Radu Coravu wrote:

Hi Patrik, Eliot,

Oxygen has this internal security check which tries to report to you connections to remote locations, connections which otherwise might have been made without you knowing it. In the Oxygen Preferences->"Network Connection Settings / Trusted Hosts" page there is a trusted hosts list.

Older Oxygen versions did not have these notifications in place so it's possible that the connection was made also in the past when validating that XML document.

I'm not sure why the Xerces parser we are using for checking the XML wellformedness tries to connect to that web site. Is it possible your XML document has a reference to a DTD file and maybe that DTD has in turn references to other DTDs, maybe some references remote?

Regards,

Radu

Oxygen 23 was just released--maybe you could try installing it and see if the issue has been resolved?

Using Ultratools.com I get this entry for 209.250.6.266:

     Greetings!

     I'm trying out Oxygen XML Editor 22.1 on Debian and I'm getting this      persistent message:

     *****

     The Wellformed XML Scanner validator tried to connect to: 209.250.6.226:80

     The host 209.250.6.226:80 is not in the list of trusted hosts.

     Do you want to allow the connection to this host?

     *****

     I checked the forum, the documentation, even searched the Internet and      have not found this message elsewhere.

     The host in question, 209.250.6.226, just displays a Testing 123 page to      show an Apache HTTP server is working.

     I keep denying it access but there's no persistent block that I can find.

     Thoughts? Suggestions?

     Thanks!

     Patrick

     PS: I've run whois and written to the technical contact but the popup      makes it sound like I'm originating the request.

     PPS: No, I haven't seen this message until installing the trial version      of Oxygen XML.
