On a development server I've succefully managed to create an importer and it's working perfect.
On the production website however, I'm running into this error, using the same xml feed and using the same importer:

Start tag expected, '<' not found on line 1. Error code: 4
There was an error parsing the XML document.

I'm using the same module versions accross both sites. The difference may be in the fact that the production site has APC and Memcached running. I'm not getting any watchdog entries and I'm also not seeing anything in the apache logs.

I'm really at a loss to see what is the issue. Is there anything I can do to find out what's wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That was interesting: turns out that the httprl module requires to have "Use httprl to handle drupal_http_request" enabled.
Needle in a haystack found. Works brilliantly now.
