Description David Williams

I've just seen the exception pasted below. I think the root cause is you want to use "format=xml" instead of "responseType=xml"?  I was just checking I had the latest galileo builder installed.

That's true. But I'm not adding the responseType=xml. Very odd indeed. I wonder where that URL Is found and how it's generated. The entries in our repositories does not have a countryCode, a timeXone, or a responseType. Someone else adds that at some point.

I submitted a patch to p2 and I also added a format=xml entry to all our mirrorsURL declarations so it should work again now.

Marking this as fixed since we now declare a format=xml in our mirrorsURL and hence, no longer are sensitive to the 230924 bug.
