I think I may be on the verge of getting to the bottom of the invisible character insertion problem I’ve been experiencing whilst attempting to parse Blogger generated files using WebStar’s SSI services. After a brief email exchange with the fine support folks over at Maxum, makers of the Rumpus FTP server I run, I changed an embedded configuration string to trick an ftp client connecting to the machine (like Blogger) to think it was talking to a UNIX box rather than a Mac. The logic behind this was that perhaps Blogger’s FTP services were sending differently encoded files depending on the target platform. Nice try, but that wasn’t it. However, after looking at the Blogger log files, I discovered an interesting warning message that seems to point the fickle finger of fate back at Blogger. All the gory details can be found in this discussion thread.
