issue with xml file download and processing

hi!

i created a script that downloads via FTP an xml file, and then process it to convert its nodes into variable=value pairs.

both process work separately, but once i launch the whole process, then it fails: it seems the file is there, but is not available for xml processing. I come from serverside processing world, and i assume it's a file handle releasing issue but i'm not sure.

Can someone explain why?


Here is the bit from the console log that concerns the problem:

SYS: succesfully received file forecasts.xml

IN: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for forecasts.xml (437 bytes).

DBG: check is ok (150).

IN: 226 File send OK.

DBG: check is ok (226).

OUT: quit

IN: 221 Goodbye.

Document not parsed successfully.

forecasts.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty
forecasts.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

nevermind, it has been solved by creating two different apps.
