[Cdash] Uploading Test.xml with backslashes

[Simon Pomarède - TMA Uranie]

Dear all,

I'm confronted to a behavior I don't find any similar on the Internet. 
Here it is:
I'm working on a development project that uses CMake, CTest and CDash on 
multiple platforms
(several Unix systems and a Windows one). Everything works fine in the 
Linux world, and the Kitware tools
really make things easy. But on Windows, I can't use CDash as I would 
like: the entry is created in the
dashboard, but there is no content posted.
When I use my CTest script, everything seems to work but the submission 
part ("ctest_submit"
function). In the log, I got the following output :
--------------------------------------------
Error parsing XML in stream at line 6: junk after document element
 Server Response:

 OK

ERROR: invalid input syntax for type bytea
LINE 2: ...\ura at nie
\souRCE\bin\Debug\checkDataServer.exe','Completed','
 ^SQL error

invalid inp
ut syntax for type bytea
LINE 2: ...\ura at nie
\souRCE\bin\Debug\checkDataServer.exe','Completed','
 ^
ERROR
: invalid input syntax for type bytea
--------------------------------------------

In order to locate the problem, I looked at the "Test.xml", and found 
that the paths are in
Windows format, ie with backslashes. So I tried to replace backslashes 
with slashes and submit the same
report again: it works fine!
So my conclusion is that the "Windows-formed" paths are incompatible 
with one of the tools
called at submission (one of PHP, PgSQL or CDash).

Has anyone ever been confronted to such an issue? Am I doing anything 
wrong? Does anyone know a way to solve
my issue, or to get around it?


Thanks in advance for your help,
Simon
