I had a really bizzare problem today - I was loading a local XML document via XmlDocument.Load and it was throwing a System.Net.WebException - The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.
I was totally stumped, and then I hapened to open the XML document in question (it's actually an XHTML document), and I noticed that the first line was a DOCTYPE with a link to an external DTD.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Sure enough, following the
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd link gave me a 503 Server Unavailable error!
To resolve the problem I simply removed the DOCTYPE from the HTML document.
