REST API 406 Errors

Added by Jeffrey Jones over 14 years ago

Hoi all

I am running RedMine on apache and giving the REST API a go. I tried entering issues.xml but get a 406 Not acceptable error when I used my browser.

So my next try was to use wget with the Accept header explicitly set

wget --header='Accept: application/xml' "http://x:y@server/issues/1.xml"

and still got a 406. This only happens when I request XML, everything else (html, csv etc.) works fine.

Has anyone else run into this? I have enabled the REST API option in administration and am running 0.9.2

The example ruby REST app in the wiki also fails with the same error.

curl -v -H 'Accept: application/xml' works for me, I'm running trunk though, and Rest_api states "At the time of writing, the API is only available in trunk (see r3310, r3313)." I also just had a look at source:tags/0.9.2/app/controllers/issues_controller.rb#L106, and the respond_to block doesn't mention an XML view, so I'd say it's not active yet in stable.

Hoi Felix,

Thanks for the help

The problem with those "At the time of writing" comments is that I have no idea when that was written (Unless I trawl through wiki update histories) and since the revisions were done a month ago I assumed they had been merged.

I could have sworn I saw the XML method in the respond_to block when I checked the source-code in my 0.9.2 installation, my brain must be playing tricks on me or I was looking at the wrong controller maybe.

Cheers

i use 0.9.3 and try to use the ruby sample but get 401 or 406 depends on the attributes I use:
@
require 'rubygems'
require 'active_resource'

  1. Issue model on the client side
    class Issue < ActiveResource::Base
    self.site = 'http://localhost:3000'
    self.user = 'admin'
    self.password = 'admin'
    end
  1. Retrieving issues
    issues = Issue.find(:all)
    puts issues.first@

I read somewhere that I should use the API access key.
how do i use it in the given example?
i tried self.password = <my key>
but it didn't work.

also when trying it from the browser - http://0.0.0.0:3000/issues.xml
/issues/9.xml i get 406 as well.

Thanks!

Oren, as I already pointed out above, the Issues REST API is not in 0.9.3, only in trunk.

RE: REST API 406 Errors - Added by oren golan over 14 years ago

Thanks Felix,
I thought i am using trunk.

here is what i did:
git clone git://github.com/edavis10/redmine.git
git checkout -b 0.9.3
now when i run git log, i can't find r3310 or r3313, so i guess i am not on trunk..

can You guide me how to use trunk with git?

Thank you!

RE: REST API 406 Errors - Added by Felix Schäfer over 14 years ago

Well, saying -b 0.9.3 gives you 0.9.3 ;-) I can't test it now and my git-foo is not that good, but git checkout master should give you the master branch, which is the same thing as the svn trunk. If you want to be sure, ask edavis10 on the #redmine IRC channel on freenode.

RE: REST API 406 Errors - Added by oren golan over 14 years ago

edavis10 helped and now it's working.
git's master branch is the trunk.
I switched to master and the ruby code works.
well, i had to remove the :count symbol from app/views/issues/index.xml.builder (http://www.redmine.org/issues/4745)
but after fixing it all is well.

now i'll look for put operations on issues in the docs.

Thanks!
