Error encountered during conversion in https://livejournal2blogger.appspot.com/ about google-blog-converters-appengine HOT 11 OPEN

JJ, the actual error message in the last line (after "Fault:") got eaten by the
browser because you don't do HTML escaping in line 49 of
src/livejournal2blogger/livejournal2blogger.py:
http://code.google.com/p/google-blog-converters-appengine/source/browse/trunk/sr
c/livejournal2blogger/livejournal2blogger.py?r=57#49

You're setting Content-Type to text/plain there but it is actually displayed as
text/html in my Firefox 3 and I guess in Alexey's browser as well. I'm not sure 
why.
According to my Firebug network trace, it's a server-side problem — the 
response
headers contain this:

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

But even if you get the server send real text/plain, browsers may force it back 
to
text/html because they're doing content sniffing. (When a browser sees some 
HTML tags
near the beginning of the response body, it will render it as HTML no matter 
what
MIME type the server actually declared.)

What do you think about changing the Content-Type to text/html and outputting 
the
Python error trace fully HTML-escaped into a <pre> element?

To make the first paragraph more clear, here is an example error message when 
the
password entered is wrong:

Fault: <Fault 101: 'Invalid password'>

Thanks for the comment, alexkon.  You're definitely correct in your analysis.

I'll patch this up today with your <pre> element idea.

I checked in a change which traps explicitly for Faults from the XML-RPC calls 
and
displays just the fault.  Also, I'm not escaping all error output for better 
display
in the browser.

The hosted application has been updated with this change.

JJ, thanks for the quick fix!

Alexey, could you please try again now and tell me if it worked for you?
Если Вам проще говорить по-русски, напишите

thanks for comments and fix this problem!

but now i have:
"A server error occurred.  Please contact the administrator."

maybe it becouse i have very big history in my Livejournal account?

i was see how many posts in my livejournal.. it's about 820 messages in my diary

Alexey,

That is a rather large journal, but Blogger should be able to handle it.  Can 
you
make sure that the output of the livejournal2blogger file is valid XML?  I 
assume
that this problem is due to something in the converted file that Blogger does 
not
recognize, invalid XML being just one possibility.

If you like, I can take a look at the converted file to see if I see anything 
that
looks suspicious.  

i havn't any file

i was put livejoirnal login and passord to form
(https://livejournal2blogger.appspot.com) and get error after post:
"A server error occurred.  Please contact the administrator."

that's all i have ;)
my livejournal: alucky.livejournal.com

new error! :)

"Error: Server Error
The server encountered an error and could not complete your request.

If the problem persists, please report your problem and mention this error 
message
and the query that caused it."

i cant start python script on my notebook, becouse i cant get access to 
livejournal
(we think goverment close it).
so i can only use this service or proxy
if you will add http proxy support to this project, i will try to use it with 
that
