Taking... spacewalk.git: 38b6aeda068f6ce2d4623804db51da17249ac589 Spacewalk 2.5 was released. This BZ closed some time during 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7. Adding to 2.7 tracking bug. |
Description of problem: Python's xmlrpclib cannot decode ']]>' as a string parameter. Character sequence ']]>' is not permitted to appear in content unless used to mark the end of CDATA-Section. Usually there is no need to escape the '>' character. But it really should be escaped in the case of ']]>' sequence generate a valid xml. How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. send API XML-RPC request to Spacewalk server, respond should contain ']]>' sequence Actual results: [[snip]] File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1199, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1489, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1253, in request return self._parse_response(h.getfile(), sock) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 1387, in _parse_response p.feed(response) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/xmlrpclib.py", line 601, in feed self._parser.Parse(data, 0) xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 1, column 593 Expected results: python xmlrpclib should parse respond w/o any problems Additional info: in request to server sequence ']]>' correctly escaped to ']]>', but in respond from server not. Looks like a bug in redstone XmlRpcSerializer.
