Ok Frank. That’s good to know. I won’t bother aggregating the inline assets. It’s not worth the extra problems.

I have another question: I seem to have a problem getting jQuery into the aggregation. Most everything else depends on it, so I need to make sure it gets into the aggregated file first. Is there any way to control the order of the files in the aggregation?

@lotlog. No idea. Vlad has the patch, but I’m not sure how long it will take him to check it out and apply it, if he agrees. I hope it’s soon.

For my client’s sake, I’d prefer not to be spending time working on my own fork.

Ok. If you do that beware that there are other bugs lurking in the current 2.1.1 SOAP API version. See my other patches in this forum. Or bug Zack to apply them 🙂

Here is a patch for this against 2.1.1

+ * Name: clean_utf8_xml_string
+ * Purpose: to remove or transform bytes or characters in a UTF-8 stream that
+ * will cause problems when parsed as XML. Not every UTF-8 character is a valid
+ * XML character.
+ * Author: Jason Judge
+ * Licence: GPL V3
+ * Created: 2010-01-07
+ *
+ * Takes a UTF-8 string and replaces any character that is not valid in an XML document.
+ *
+ * Note this does not require PCRE unicode libraries, which are often a problem on hosted
+ * servers.
+ *
+ * Inspiration taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1401317/remove-non-uft8-characters-from-string

by the way, the error message if you get bit by this would look something like:
