http://localhost/ticket/1206 <p> Compare these two requests to create a package: </p> <pre class="wiki">curl http://test.ckan.net/api/rest/package -d '{name:"test"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'X-CKAN-API-KEY: tester' curl http://test.ckan.net/api/rest/package -d '{name:"test"}' -H 'X-CKAN-API-KEY: tester' </pre><p> The second one gets the payload through (ckan log): </p> <pre class="wiki">Retrieving request params: UnicodeMultiDict([('{name:"test"}', u'')]) </pre><p> But the first one causes a <a class="missing wiki">ServerError?</a> because the payload (name:&#34;test&#34;) doesn't make it to request.POST or request.params: </p> <pre class="wiki">Retrieving request params: UnicodeMultiDict([]) </pre><p> The only difference is the "<a class="missing wiki">ContentType?</a>: application/json" header, which seems a reasonable thing to include. Javascript lib backbone.js (for example) inserts this automatically. </p> <p> So why does this header cause the payload to not get through to the request object? </p> en-us http://assets.okfn.org/p/ckan/img/ckan_logo_shortname.png http://localhost/ticket/1206 Trac 0.12.3 dread Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:10:16 GMT http://localhost/ticket/1206#comment:1 http://localhost/ticket/1206#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> changed from <em>new</em> to <em>closed</em> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> set to <em>fixed</em> </li> </ul> <p> Fixed with cset:149be76faabc on default branch, aiming for ckan 1.4.2. </p> <p> Thanks for help from Eric Lemoine. </p> Ticket
