Catalog Import Error - Parse Error?

[loftwerks]

When I try to Import Catalog I get the following error: From what I'm finding in various forums, it appears upon import, as soon as any number of characters are encountered the parse fails. Is there a way of escaping those characters? - "&, <>, etc..."

Magento v1.9

Odoo v8

Not sure this is about the characters. This is probably magento raising an error and the error message is not well-formed (like a http error page). This results in the api presenting an error and stacktrace like the one you have pasted.

A good place to check would be magento logs (or web server logs).
