Can someone please help me to see why this post to XML:arser fails ?

I use it successfully in many ways, but can't figure why this is giving
an error ...

( I have placed xxx on certain parts for privacy).

....

You don't show us the code, so it's kinda difficult to debug this, but
the "no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1:" shows that you are
not parsing an XML file: either you are either parsing something empty,
or you are using the wrong method, parse on the name of the file instead
of the content as a string (or a filehandle), when it should be parsefile.
