I don't think is a problem as most likely you are not hitting the form list 
page. As there would be no font listed in the xml on the formslist. Please 
check your server settings and insure that you are not hitting a http proxy.

Assigning to Carl to maybe put up a better error in 1.1.7 that if we don't get 
a well formed form XML list then display form list not found.

Thanks for the info; good to know the problem's at my end.  I thought that font 
tag seemed out of place!

So, I've had a look into what's being sent and received:

The client sends GET //formlist (I don't know why it's got the double slash, 
but that doesn't matter does it?) and is redirected (302 Found) to GET 
//formlist/ (with the trailing slash), which in turn returns 200 OK and this 
content:

[truncated] <html><link rel="icon" type="image/png" 
href="/odk_color_sq.png"><head><title>ODK 
AGGREGATE</title></head><body><h2><FONT COLOR=330066 size=7><img 
src='/odk_color.png'/> ODK AGGREGATE</h2></FONT><br><br><h1>Login Required<

Which is the ODK home page ("Login Required" etc.)!

So, not hitting a proxy, but not hitting the formlist either.

What's the correct URL for the form list?

Oh... hang on...

That double slash: it was because I'd entered the server address in the client 
as http://10.73.55.32:8080/ WITH A TRAILING SLASH.  I removed that slash, and 
the client sent GET /formList (with a capital L) and the correct XML was 
returned!

So all is working!  :-)

Might be nice for Collect to not mind about trailing slashes, though.  :-)

Thanks for building great software!

Thanks for the report and update, Sam.  I actually just updated the 1.1.7 code 
a couple days ago to not care about trailing slahes, so hopefully that'll fix 
things.
