Refs and Errors

The optional <Refs> element lists the links (references) from the given document, for parent-child linking. Its text value is a base64-encoded XML document with the following format when decoded:

<results xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
  <result>
    <Url>http://www.example.com/dir/page.html</Url>
    <Ref>http://www.example.com/dir/otherpage.html/</Ref>
  </result>
  ...
</results>

Each <Url> should be the same as the <Url> in the above <Item> block. The <Ref> is a single link from the page. Only one <Ref> may be listed per <result>; additional links should be sent with additional <result> elements.

The optional <Errors> element contains any errors to be logged for the document. Note that this may be empty or not present if no errors are to be logged. Its text value is a base64-encoded XML document with the following format when decoded:

<results xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
  <result>
    <Url>http://www.example.com/dir/page.html</Url>
    <Reason>Document not found: 404 (Not Found)</Reason>
  </result>
  ...
</results>

As with the <Refs> element, the <Url> must correspond with the original <Item> <Url>, and multiple errors must be listed in separate <result> elements.
