Description Paul Nasrat 2004-01-28 15:39:42 UTC

Description of problem:

Upon running a bugtool or bugzuki query I get an xmlrpc error

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download bugtool
2. Install
3. run bugtool from a terminal
4. Select one of the queries

Actual results:

xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: 'error decoding RPC.\n\nnot well-formed
(invalid token) at line 1, column 8, byte 8 at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm
line 185\n'>

Expected results:

Query runs (as I have been doing at least weekly) and returns

Comment 1 Paul Nasrat 2004-01-28 16:39:58 UTC

Apologies wrong stack trace - I was running against a local bugzilla
instance.

I guess this is now closed down for external access:

xmlrpclib.ProtocolError: <ProtocolError for
bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi: 403 Forbidden>

Can you confirm this is the case.

Comment 2 Paul Nasrat 2004-01-28 16:57:05 UTC

OK, bugtool was set to go against http not https by default (will let
jrb know).  Tested with a clean install of bugtool s/http/https/ and
ensured pointing at bugzilla.redhat.com back to original error:

xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: 'error decoding RPC.\n\nnot well-formed
(invalid token) at line 1, column 8, byte 8 at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm
line 185\n'

sorry for the line noise.

Comment 3 Paul Nasrat 2004-02-03 11:48:39 UTC

Retested today without changing anything this end is now working fine.

Closing as WORKSFORME as can't really say anything else

Comment 4 David Lawrence 2004-02-03 16:18:51 UTC

There was an error in the way the CGI data was being parsed. Something
was adding a POSTDATA= to the beginning of the POST body which was
causing the XMLRPC libraries to freak out. Removal of the POSTDATA=
from the beginning of the string using a regex allowed everything to
work again. Still looking into why that was being added in the first
place since the regex is considered a workaround and not a fix.
