Description

[ryan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; Touch; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; Tablet PC 2.0; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.3; rv:11.0) like Gecko

Steps to reproduce:

I used following python codes
header = {"Accept": "application/json"}
bugzilla.request("GET", "/rest/version",'',header)
res = bugzilla.getresponse()
print res.status, res.reason
print res.read()
bugzilla.close()


Actual results:

python can't find the URL


Expected results:

I change "GET /rest/version HTTP/1.1" to "GET /rest.cgi/version HTTP/1.1"

The python got the right respond.

200 OK
{"version":"5.0"}

No idea which part of the documentation you are talking about. A URL would be helpful. :)

Note that .htaccess has a specific rule for rest -> rest.cgi:

  RewriteRule ^rest/(.*)$ rest.cgi/$1 [NE]


So there is no need to specify rest.cgi yourself.

I am talking about first example in the following page.
https://bugzilla.readthedocs.org/en/5.0/api/core/v1/general.html

This is the first example I have tried for bugzilla. The replacement rest to rest.cg is not enable by default. When I tried this example, I was so confused. Maybe we need to add a note to this problem.

It is enabled by default. This rule is in .htaccess by default.
