Title should be: 
Won't import PT .ovpn files - parsing

I think your ovpn file is somehow broken. Judging from the error message you 
have imported a html file.

At the time I checked today, all .ovpn files downloaded from privatetunnel.com 
follow this general format:

<div class="rt-joomla ">
    <div class="rt-article">

        <p><span style="font-size: 12.222222328186035px; line-height: 15.796296119689941px;"># Automatically generated OpenVPN client config file

(Many more #configuration lines)
...
# zafXhJd85Gju0bZstM
# -----END RSA SIGNATURE-----
</span></p>
</div>
</div>

Chrome, Opera Mini and Dolphin each download the .ovpn files identically.

The official client, OpenVPN Connect
Connect, parses each of these .ovpn files without error, effectively ignoring 
the html.

I'm suggesting that OpenVPN For Android should also parse these files, 
improving the user experience and interoperability.

As a side note, if, at install&try time, this client had successfully imported, 
I would not have moved on to the official client.

I am not comfortable with ignoring unknown configuration. That configuration 
file is just not a valid configuration file. I suggest that you contact 
privatetunnel.com support.

I will not implement a html parser to parse these completely broken files.
