I agree that it is best to use a library and I will eventually but in my case this wouldn't help since the CSV _is_ legal (at least in my later examples). In one case it seems to be a bug in the SOLR CSV parser (\"" is legal but gives an error). In the other case the same file works if sent as post data but doesn't if given as a local file. If it wasn't legal the post data version would fail too. -Michael p.s.: I filed the bug report, Yonik.
