826275 - xmlrpc interface on bugzilla.allizom.org returns 302 *and* the payload

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: BzAPI, defect)

Description

[:glob ✱]

spun off from bug 816652:

attachment 697374 [details] - Script to reproduce problem

The attached script, when run against allizom, results in a "302 Found" response which nonetheless has a content body with the history in it. This is weird. The BZ::Client library can't cope with that. When run against bmo, it also returns the correct data, but with a "200" response.

Therefore, there is some configuration difference between allizom and bmo here.

It could be that BZ::Client should do better here, but it seems best to first investigate why these two environments are different. If we can fix that, we can solve the problem quicker.

Could this be some intermediate "transparent" proxy thing?

and a few seconds after creating this bug, i found the cause of the issue:

you're posting to: https://bugzilla.allizom.org/xmlrpc.cgi/xmlrpc.cgi
note the double /xmlrpc.cgi

using the correct url results in a 200 response.


i'm not sure if this is worth investigating further, as i'm surprised it works correctly on the current system.  thoughts?

no, there's no proxy (yet!)

Carefully checking that the test script does the same thing as the production code: Check
Carefully checking that this thing is actually sane: Oops, missed that step

:-)

I have a one-line fix for this. I'm amazed it's worked for so long.
