[GeoNetwork-users] Harvesting goes wrong for some CSWs

Hello list,

I try to harvest a CSW with the following capabilities-URL:

http://xyz/123/get?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=CSW

This URL works in a browser. But when i try to harvest this CSW I get a error-message: "Raised exception when searching".
A look in geonetwork.log shows me this capabilities-URL:

http://xyz/123/get?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=CSW

The "&" is replaced with the html-entity. For many CSW it works fine, but my assumption is, that some CSW (or rather the software behind the CSW) can't assimilate this URL.
Have anyone reffering to this some experience or some suggestion to solve that.
Maybe I am on the wrong way with my assumption.

Thanks for your answers
Martin
