Hello,

I am trying to parse an HTML document with the doctype declared to use
the transitional dtd as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>

When I do Builder.build on the document, I get the following exception:

java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd

If I remove the doc type declaration, it parses just fine. I can
successfully download the dtd from my browser, which tells me that the
url is valid. I don't want to remove the doc type declaration. Is
there a way tell the builder not to download the dtd or provide it
with an alternate dtd?

Thanks,
Bala.

P.S.: I only saw one mailing list so I am posting my question here. If
there is a better xom-help or xom-users list, please let me know and I
will post my question there.
