1231898 - REST API doesn't seem to work on Windows (IIS)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1200620

(Bugzilla :: WebService, defect)

Description

[Kevin Turner]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/47.0.2526.73 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Installed 5.0.1 on windows with correct IIS settings including the recommended rewrite rule.

Tested with http://<server>/rest/version

In my case, $cgi->path_info returns "/bugzilla/rest.cgi/version" instead of "/version" so it fails all the regexp tests.

I have looked at bugs #1200604 and #1200620 and they seem to indicate that it is fixed in the "cgi module", but I still get this issue even when I tried it with version 5.1.0.

Where do I obtain the correct cgi module as recommended in #1200620?


Actual results:

Returned 

{
   "code" : 32614,
   "documentation" : "http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/api/",
   "error" : true,
   "message" : "A REST API resource was not found for 'GET /bugzilla/rest.cgi/version'."
}



Expected results:

Should return the version number

I should add that I am using ActivePerl v5.20.2, so the cgi module should be up to date.

An alternative would be to use Strawberry Perl but I cannot get Bugzilla to work with that at all yet.

Perhaps there is a workaround I can use in the Bugzilla code if the cgi module is not readily available to Windows users?

The latest CGI module is available on Windows, see https://code.activestate.com/ppm/CGI/.

Seems OK with Strawberry Perl also
