See the attached test file. The code works fine requesting a bug from my local install, but not from b.m.o. The error string is: "Application failed during request deserialization: no element found at line 1, column 0, byte -1 at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 187 This is also the error BzAPI is getting back when it attempts to add comments (see bug 652452).

This breaks bzexport, which is unfortunate: http://hg.mozilla.org/users/tmielczarek_mozilla.com/bzexport/ (Gerv: you didn't attach anything with your comment, AFAICT.)

Ted: thanks - just attached the script. It looks like it's this: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=58538 Can someone please hack bmo's SOAP::Lite? Gerv

(Sidenote: is our new MIME type-guessing code being a big aggressive? Ted had to change the MIME type of the file I uploaded from application/x-perl to text/plain. I think we probably want a bunch of types like that to be guessed as text/plain...) Gerv

justdave, what version of SOAP::Lite is installed on BMO? I have SOAP::Lite 0.711 on my local system and comment attaching works for me. Are you using the rpm that comes with RHEL? dkl

We're using 0.712 on b.m.o because: [06:49:46] Checking for SOAP-Lite (v0.712) ok: found v0.712 checksetup.pl said we needed 0.712. We used to be version-locked on 0.710 because 0.711 had a bug I don't remember the details of that was breaking stuff. Supposedly that bug got fixed in 0.712 and I assumed that was the reason Bugzilla was requiring it.

This is a blocker issue. It breaks a bunch of tools that our developers rely on, including but not limited to orange tracking facilities.

I have a patched copy of perl-SOAP-Lite built, working on deploying it now.

This is a test comment - please disregard

(In reply to comment #10) > This is a test comment - please disregard This worked using Bug.add_comment. Please reopen this if the problem still persists. Otherwise mark as VERIFIED. dkl

XML-RPC Bug.get now works using my test script. Gerv
