Description

[Mihai]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

I got the following error when trying to dump the closed ANT bugs to a xml. Either an escape problem or a char set problem as far as I can tell.

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi
Line Number 305963, Column 4:noÿ

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a list of closed ANT bugs: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__closed__&product=Ant&content=
2. Saving to XML throws a parsing error.


Actual Results:  
Got the following output:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi
Line Number 305963, Column 4:noÿ

Expected Results:  
A XML dump containing the requested bugs.

Trying it on Chrome prints a different but similar error:

  Oh, I've run into this before, I think we have another bug for it. As I recall, we can't even do �, because the XML parser will complain about that too.
