We have been trying to find out why a particular replication did not work.
After scratching our heads for a couple of days, it turns out that replication does not like white space at the end of replication targets.
ie.: "http://search/texis/dowalk/" does work, but
"http://search/texis/dowalk/ " does not, and gives a list of obscure error messages :
000 2010-03-16 17:57:31 [dowalk] Connection to host "www.w3.org" failed for http URL "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd": [^] No error in the function http_open
000 2010-03-16 17:57:31 [dowalk] XML parsing error reported at byte offset 110
000 2010-03-16 17:58:32 [dowalk] XML parsing error reported at byte offset 345
000 2010-03-16 17:58:32 [dowalk] XML parsing error reported at byte offset 353
100 2010-03-16 17:58:32 [dowalk] Server error: http://search.coe.int/texis/dowalk/%20/replrecv.txt [^] returned code 500 (Vortex Error)
It took some time before i spotted the '%20' in one of the messages.
