Bug in XPathOnUrl()?

There seems to be a bug when XPathOnUrl() to extract values which are not enclosed in quotes. I believe the same bug may exist with other functions such as CsQueryOnUrl(). I'm using SeoTools v8.0.6.

For example, I need to extract the Hreflang codes from https://www.walmart.ca/en, where the actual tags look like this:

<link rel=alternate hreflang=x-default href="/" />
<link rel=alternate hreflang=en-ca href="/en" />
<link rel=alternate hreflang=fr-ca href="/fr"/>

Note that the values for the rel & hreflang properties are not enclosed in quotes such as "alternate" and "en-ca".

The following syntax should work, but it returns a null value:

=Dump( XPathOnUrl( "https://www.walmart.ca/en", "//*[@hreflang]", "hreflang" ) )

I've also tried using the "html" mode as well as blank attributes, but those had the same result.

To verify, I used PhantomJsCloud.XPath as follows, and all 3 Hreflang codes are correctly returned:

=Dump( Connector("PhantomJsCloud.XPath", "https://www.walmart.ca/en", "//*[@hreflang]", "hreflang", TRUE, "us") )
