[oXygen-user] The Wellformed XML Scanner validator tried to connect to: 209.250.6.226:80

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Patrik, Eliot,

Oxygen has this internal security check which tries to report to you 
connections to remote locations, connections which otherwise might have 
been made without you knowing it. In the Oxygen Preferences->"Network 
Connection Settings / Trusted Hosts" page there is a trusted hosts list.

Older Oxygen versions did not have these notifications in place so it's 
possible that the connection was made also in the past when validating 
that XML document.

I'm not sure why the Xerces parser we are using for checking the XML 
wellformedness tries to connect to that web site. Is it possible your 
XML document has a reference to a DTD file and maybe that DTD has in 
turn references to other DTDs, maybe some references remote?

Regards,

Radu
