No error flagged if the remote schema cannot be accessed!

[DavidHaslam]

IIRC, when the path to a remote schema is no longer valid because the domain has gone AWOL, upon trying to validate an XML file, XML Tools would report the connection failure as an error message.

With the current version, 3.0.4.2 no such error message appears and the XML Validation result is OK even for an XML file that has known validation errors.

IMHO, this is a serious "false negative" bug that needs to be fixed ASAP.

The following example points to a domain that went AWOL several years ago.

<osis xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace 
      http://www.bibletechnologies.net/osisCore.2.1.1.xsd" 
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xmlns="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace">

Validation can be done by changing only the path for the .xsd file.

<osis xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace 
      z:/osisCore.2.1.1.xsd" 
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xmlns="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/2003/OSIS/namespace">

where subst z: <local_schema_path> (simply for convenience).

It seems not to matter at all that two other osis parameters include the URL of the missing domain.
