[Geo] Geo extension throws DTD is prohibited in this XML document error converting phone

Michael Lazzaro

Question

We have recently upgrade our cloud platform to 9.1. We have been using Geo to convert phone numbers and since the upgrade Geo versions 4.0.2 and 4.1 both throw a For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the DtdProcessing property on XmlReaderSettings to Parse and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method error when calling Country_FormatPhoneNumber action.

Does anyone know how to work around this or have an alternative that can be used?

We are using Geo to validate the input phone numbers for the country selected and then store it in E164 format.

This error is coming from inside the .NET code. If you find a fix for this, I will gladly incorporate it and upload a new version, or you can join the team, I will accept you, and you can upload the fix yourself once you have it (which will give you the benefit in getting some points for your profile).

I'm not a .Net developper so i have no idea to solve this issue.

But an (ex)colleague was able to make it work on the older version, perhaps i can add it here and you can find out what is different when you compare the 2 version.

because for the new platform server from 11.9 it gives issues with these third-party assemblies

System.Net.Http.dll

System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.dll

The oap is to big to drop here, any other idea's?

Same problem. I've been able to fix the issue by downloading the latest code from https://github.com/erezak/libphonenumber-csharp

Created a testapp to try the libphonenumber_csharp_portable.dll

This worked so build the ddl, replaced the dll in the Geo and that has fixed the problem.
