Blogger denied entry by DHS - "Blogging
ain't a job"

Blogger denied entry by DHS - "Blogging
ain't a job" 03/19/2005 03:18 AM

Blogger Jeremy Wright was denied entry to the United States and was strip searched by the US Department of Homeland Security. One of the reasons for the suspicion was that the officer didn't believe blogging was a profession. "Blogging ain’t a job," said the officer. (Maybe I should modify my last post about amateurs and blogging...) Jeremy has posted a followup entry which is sober and balanced. He quotes from memory part of the exchange with the DHS officer.

Him: Why would you visit someone in the states you’d never met (I mentioned I was planning to visit several people whilst down there)
Me: Well, I have met most of them, but I’ve talked to them dozens or hundreds of times online.
Him: Do you have any of their phone numbers?
Me: No, but I talk
Him: You can’t talk to someone without a phone number. Stop lying to me.
Me: No, really, I can talk from my computer to theirs
Him: Don’t be a smartass. If you don’t have their phone number, and you’ve never met them, how can you have ever talked to them.
Me: … (at this point I’ve learned that sarcasm doesn’t help, nor does answering questions he doesn’t want to hear the answer to)
Him: So, you’re trying to tell me that you’re going to visit someone who you’ve never met, never talked to and who knows nothing about you? And I’m supposed to believe this?

Good point about sarcasm. On my blog I talk tough about DHS and immigration, but in front of a DHS officer, I'm very polite and try to say "yes sir" a lot... Immigration is definitely not a good play to practice your sarcasm.

If you're tired of the default error handler and want to have complete control over default error messages, you should write your own error handling class. Writing your own handler will enable you to change the way php handles your error messages, and allows you to create your own error types. With this class you will be able to send error messages to a log file, or send error reports via email.

XML Error Reporting III

XML Error Reporting III 01/24/2004 02:50 PM

Thanks to those of you who answered my question regarding how much of an invalid page should be rendered. It turns out that the XML spec is clear on this issue, and that I must stop building up the page DOM after the first fatal error is encountered.

With that in mind I now tell libxml to continue the processing, but I start ignoring all of the callbacks. That way I get a list of all the errors, but properly stop the DOM tree buildup after the first error.

For those of you who suggested that WebKit needs some sort of error reporting API, I agree, and if it had one, these errors would obviously be reported to it. However, these errors still have to be reported aggressively so that WebKit clients can't mask these mistakes.

I don't believe in showing a sheet or a dialog as an intermediate step prior to displaying a rendering of the page. The reason I dislike this idea is that this error reporting is primarily a Web developer feature, and they're just going to want to load the page, see the errors, maybe correct some CSS at the same time, and then reload with changes until the error report has been eliminated.

The end user isn't ever going to see this report, since anyone who makes an invalid XML file right now ends up with something that won't display in any browser. Thus it seems to me that the report should be easy to access (in terms of # of clicks), always visible, and included with the page rendering.

I have polished the look of the report a bit based off suggestions. Here's another screenshot.

XML Error Reporting II

XML Error Reporting II 01/22/2004 03:30 PM

Responding to comments in the previous blog entry:

(1) Some people thought this was a hacked expat. Darin actually switched Safari over to libxml2, so the error messages you're seeing (as well as the ability to continue parsing) are all built in to libxml2.

(2) Do you think it's better to show the page only up to the first error or to try to display the entire page (with the understanding that what follows the first error could be very badly mangled)?

(3) Often there are a lot of meaningless errors after the first. I could put a cap on the number of displayed errors to deal with this problem or just not worry about it. What do people think?

(4) Those of you who suggested drawers for errors, remember a drawer is a UI element in Safari and not WebKit. This feature should just work out of the box for WebKit clients, so I'm inclined not to use drawers or sheets, but to just display the errors at the top of the page.

More on XML Error Handling

More on XML Error Handling 01/22/2004 02:56 AM

I thought I'd respond to a few of the comments I received:

Many people suggested that there be a built-in validator in the browser that could show the errors to the developer. The validators basically break down into two types: obtrusive validators and unobtrusive validators.

If the validator is unobtrusive, then I would argue that it won't receive sufficient usage to make a difference. If the browser doesn't impose a penalty of some kind, then there will be no incentive for the author to correct mistakes.

I can see the value of an obtrusive validator, as long as the obtrusive part was only checking well-formedness (i.e., really basic mistakes).

(2) Some people pointed out that my own blog was not valid. I have two responses to that:

(a) I am not arguing for perfectly valid XML documents. I am arguing for well-formed XML documents. There is a difference. I think asking that the page be well-formed is setting the bar fairly low. For example, one of the current errors on this blog is that I have two elements with the same id. While this makes the blog invalid, it does not have any effect on the blog being well-formed. At least I don't think it does. :)

(b) I'm illustrating a point, namely that I have no reason to make the blog valid, given that browsers will display the blog anyway.

(3) People complained that I wasn't serving up XHTML. I can't actually serve up XHTML if I want the blog to be displayable in all browsers, including Safari, which still has sufficient issues with XHTML that I can't make that switch yet.

(4) My comments on HTML error handling were largely misinterpreted.

Some people thought I was attacking WinIE for its permissive handling of HTML. I was not, and I'm glad others appreciated that fact. Back in the 90s WinIE had to emulate the permissive error handling of the then-dominant browser Netscape. They had no choice if they wanted Web sites to be viewable as the designer intended. They were in the same position then that Safari is in now.

Nor am I suggesting that WinIE should become less tolerant of malformed HTML, or that they are at fault for not doing so. That is simply not a logical conclusion to have drawn from my previous comments. You can't take a Web site (even a malformed one) that works a certain way and suddenly refuse to render it or even render it radically differently than before.

For HTML, this issue was resolved long ago in favor of permissive error handling and recovery, and no modern browser is to blame for that situation.

Others said a browser that handles malformed HTML is better than one that does not, and if Safari doesn't handle all this malformed HTML, then it's simply not as capable a browser.

What amused me about this comment is that there is no definition of what it means to handle malformed HTML. As long as a browser shows you something and doesn't crash, it has handled the malformed HTML. What people don't understand is that you don't simply have to handle the malformed HTML. You have to handle it in exactly the same way as the Web browser that the site author designed for.

If you do not, you'll end up with different renderings of the same page, which as I said before, constitute the largest set of rendering differences between Web browsers. Perfect emulation is what makes error recovery so difficult. If you allow grossly malformed pages, then most XML on the Web will end up being grossly malformed (as is the case with HTML today).

Once you have a Web full of grossly malformed XML, there will be one dominant browser that designers will check to see if the site looks ok. They will then make assumptions that other browsers will recover from the malformation errors in precisely the same way and will simply assume that it is the fault of the other browsers if they don't.

Right now it is the responsibility of alternate browsers to emulate the dominant browser's error recovery strategies, but there's simply no reason to do that for XML as well.
