As others have said, this is very configuration-dependent. Saxon relies
entirely on the URI connection handling code in the Java runtime, and as
George pointed out there are various system properties you can set to tell
this code how to get through proxy servers and the like.
As far as the specification is concerned, there is actually nothing in the
spec that says whether a processor should be able to handle any particular
form of URI. The statement in my book was more at the level "with most
implementations it's likely, once you've configured things correctly, that
you will be able to...". Clearly if the implementation is running behind a
strong enough firewall then this isn't going to work.

Subject: [xsl] document() function refuses http adresses
XSLT processor: Saxon8b
XSLT version: 1.0
Hello,
According to the WROX XSLT Programmers Reference of Michael Kay (2000
version) you should be able to use http addresses as a
parameter of the
document() function (see page 442, where mr. Kay uses the
example "http://www.wrox.com/booklist";).
However in one of my stylesheet I try to use the following command:
<xsl:value-of
select="document('http://xml.ascc.net/schematron/schematron1-5
.sch')"/>
unfortunately it results in a UnknownHostException. It looks
as if it doesn't know 'xml.ascc.net.
I am able to use the http address in IE. I also tried it with
other http addresses but the result stays the same.
I also tried this in XML-Spy (native XSLT processor) but also
this wasn't succesful.
What am I doing wrong?
