Read in xml special characters

Question

Hi,
I have PL/SQL block to read in a xml file from a URL. I manage to store it perfectly fine. The problem is that I have problems reading in special characters when selecting the view. Any help please? Here is my code:
DECLARE
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
myvalue blob;
myclob blob;
feedtype number;
BEGIN
Select id into feedtype
from feednames
where name = 'EA';
req := utl_http.begin_request('http://cput-ep ap04.work.com:8852/test/gne.xml');
resp := utl_http.get_response(req);
LOOP
utl_http.read_line(resp, myvalue, TRUE);
myclob := myclob || convert(myvalue, 'UTF8', 'WE8ISO8859P1');
END LOOP;
utl_http.end_response(resp);
commit;
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_http.end_of_body THEN
utl_http.end_response(resp);
Delete from feeds where id = feedtype;
insert into feeds values (feedtype,xmltype(myclob));
commit;
END;
The view that I have created is:
create or replace view GM as
select
extractvalue(value(d), '/article/@article_id') id,
extract(value(d), '/article/@article_title').getclobval() title,
extractvalue(value(d), '/article/@article_descrip') description
from feeds x,
table(xmlsequence(extract(x.DATA_XML, '/article_elements/article'))) d where x.ID = 7

How about some sample data? The Url you gave has a space in it and is not public available. What's the error message you got?
