[Haskell-cafe] Re: src/Text/XML/HaXml/Lex.hs:(156, 0)-(160, 22): Non-exhaustive patterns in function white

[Alexander Kotelnikov]

So updated to HaXml 1.20, haxr 3000.7

Simple calls (which deal with simple data types as integer or regular
string) still work.

Calls which successfully returned some binary data before do not do so
anymore. The error is:
Prelude.chr: bad argument: 1177427

Calls which complained about 'white' function now fail with:
precondition not satisfied: Posn.white c | isSpace c


My guess is that XML parser is not ready (and from XML standpoint it
might be right) that XML-RPC tries to transfer binary data as its
<string>.
