SYMPTOMS

When you call the Read method from an XmlTextReader class by using the following code:

String m_XmlDocument = "http://localhost/bug/file.xml";
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader (m_XmlDocument);
reader.Read();

you receive the following System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException error message:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

Parameter name: The specified value must be greater than 0.
at System.Net.ServicePoint.set_ConnectionLimit(Int32 value)
at System.Xml.XmlDownloadManager.GetNonFileStream(Uri uri, ICredentials credentials)
at System.Xml.XmlDownloadManager.GetStream(Uri uri, ICredentials credentials)
at System.Xml.XmlUrlResolver.GetEntity(Uri absoluteUri, String role, Type ofObjectToReturn)

Note This hotfix cannot be applied on a system that is running the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1. If you installed the .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 and are experiencing the symptom that is described in this article, request the hotfix rollup package that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 890673 to obtain a resolution.

CAUSE

This exception was a regression from an earlier fix to the XMLDownloadManager class. The problem is caused by the limitation on connections to http://localhost. The default connection limit for http://localhost has changed from 2 to Int32.MaxValue (2,147,483,647). When the XmlDownloadManager class increments the value, the exception occurs.
