I have a project where i download a XML file from a server using sockets, and doing a request with GET. This is the file:

http://api.yr.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/1.9/?lat=60.10;lon=9.58;msl=70

However when receiving the file it contains the string "008000" in some places of the file, which is not present when opened in my browser, and this string breaks the XML formating. Example:

<location altitude="70" latitude="6 
008000
0.1000" longitude="9.5800">

I used wireshark to see if this was also sent from the server, or if it was created on my side, but it seems the server sends this:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

My code

 
import java.io.DataInputStream;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.OutputStream;

import java.io.PrintWriter;

import java.net.*;
public class NetClient

{
    Socket clientSocket = new Socket();

    InetSocketAddress ip = new InetSocketAddress("api.yr.no", 80);

 

    public String GetData(float _latitude, float _longitude, int _msl)

    {

     try

     {

         byte[] data = new byte[65000];

         String translateddata = "";

      

         clientSocket.connect(ip);

         DataInputStream inData = new DataInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());

         OutputStream outData = clientSocket.getOutputStream();

        

         PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(outData, false);

         pw.print("GET " + "/weatherapi/locationforecast/1.9/?lat=" + _latitude + ";lon=" + _longitude + ";msl=" + _msl +  " HTTP/1.1\r\n");

         pw.print("Host: api.yr.no\r\n");

         pw.print("Accept: text/xml\r\n");

         pw.print("\r\n");

         pw.flush();

        

         Thread.sleep(1000);

        

         int bytesread = 0;

         int i = 0;

         while (bytesread != -1)

         {

          bytesread = inData.read(data);

          if (bytesread != -1)

          {          

           translateddata = translateddata + new String(data);  

           String temp = new String(data);

                 PrintWriter file;

           file = new PrintWriter("weather" + i++ + ".txt");

                 file.write(temp);

                 file.close();
          }

         }

         clientSocket.close();

         return translateddata;

     }

     catch (IOException e)

     {

      

     }

     catch (InterruptedException e)

     {

   e.printStackTrace();

  }

     finally

     {

      

     }
     return "Something went wrong when trying to download data from remote server!";

    }

   

}
 

This is how i parse it:

  NetClient client = new NetClient();
  String temp = client.GetData(60.10F,9.58F,70);

DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
  DocumentBuilder dBuilder;
  try
  {
   dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
   InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(temp.getBytes());
   Document doc = dBuilder.parse(is);
  }

And thank you for the fast reply

I do save it as a txt file aswell, just the pure data received, but it contains the "008000" aswell which is why i checked the packets using wireshark. Perhaps i should try another server aswell and see if it remains.

Thank you for the answers. I've uploaded a file here which contains the raw data i receive:

I read your link Endurion and it seems you are correct! I was thinking along these lines in the beginning but when Reading 8000 bytes it landed me in the middle of the XML, however the number was encoded in hexadecimal, which is 32767.

Thank you Glass_Knife and Endurion for your help :)
