Description Ralf Ertzinger 2004-10-09 15:06:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Executing the following simple perl script:

perl -e 'use Frontier::Client; $client=Frontier::Client->new("url" =>
"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi");$client->call("bugzilla.getBug",
"123456", "foo", "foo");'

Perl responds with the following error:

syntax error at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm
line 187

Whatever the cause of the error, no syntax error should occur.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-Frontier-RPC-0.06-38

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. execute the perl snippet above
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Syntax error message


Expected results:
Sensible error handling, if the request was invalid somehow

IIRC Bugzilla XML-RPC is currently broken on the server side?  Anyone know the
details?


Comment 2 Ville Skyttä 2006-02-26 15:28:52 UTC
Seems to work properly now.
