Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError

[ifesdjeen]

@marcolz it's very hard to say anything by just having a stacktrace.

I realize that the issue is already 8 months old, but could you provide more information?
If not - we probably have to close the issue.

This happened to me. Turned out it was due to passing enlive a PDF instead of HTML.

Thanks strongh, I had the same error and it turned out to be a PDF document.
In the REPL:

=> (def res (html/resource (java.net.URL. "http://www.ojd.com/file/document/5799PV201305201305")))
=> (html/select res [:p])
=> StackOverflowError   clojure.lang.RT.boundedLength (RT.java:1654)

Maybe I should check the HTTP Content-Type, but I can't see a method in Enlive to do that,
so I would need to make another call first (using clj-http.client) before calling Enlive.
And that would not help in this example because the Content-Type appears to be empty for this document...

@odues the way that I've worked around this has been to use pantomime to check the MIME type. It's effectively detected PDFs, etc. even without the Content-Type header.

Thanks. I'll do that.
