Problem reading MetaData from URL

[Adam Portier]

Good morning,

We are trying to integrate our IdP with a SAML2 service provided by a
vendor. When I try to set up a FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider I get an
marshaling error and that particular entry refuses to load. However, if I
use curl to pull the metadata down into a file and delete the first line
(containing the XML namespace declaration and encoding), then point a
FilesystemMetadataProvider at that file, it loads it fine and we are able
to use the service. Until the metadata recycles that is (every 24 hours).

My question is twofold. Could someone who is better at debugging Metadata
than I take a look at the link I have provided and tell me why Shibboleth's
parsing engine is choking on the first line? I want to have something
specific to ask these vendors to look at.

Second, in the meantime I am writing a script to pull the metadata down
into a file manually and clean it up. Do I need to do anything to
Shibboleth to get it to periodically re-read this file so we
don't experience outages?

Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
