NPE for invalid Yadis URL #72

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
For an invalid Yadis URL, when there is a <head> and no <meta> tag, it
throws NPE. The metaElements at the 2nd line is probably null. 
In CyberNekoDOMYadisParser:
54   NodeList metaElements = head.getElementsByTagName("META");
55        for (int i = 0, len = metaElements.getLength(); i < len; i++)

perhaps throw an exception between 54 and 55 that say META tag is not found. 

besides, I suggest to provide more information in the invalid Yadis
response exception, e.g.
"please define a meta tag with a X-XRDS-Location response-header as
required in Yadis 1.0 spec section 6.2.5"

OpenID newbies like me, who may have read the OpenID spec but not Yadis,
have no idea on what's going on when there are exceptions throw in the
background.
