Bug#379732: popularity-contest: Fails to upload using http
tags 379732 pending thanks [Richard Burton] However I've figured out what it doesn't like about it. It seems that the http header was using \n for EOL, and the HTTP spec requires \r\n [1]. Aha. That should be fixed, no matter if the proxy should have handled it or not. :) I've attached a patch to fix the problem. With this on it now works fine on my machines at work now. Great. I've applied that patch to the source repository, and it will be included in the next upload.

Bug#379732: popularity-contest: Fails to upload using http
I am unable to reproduce this. When I visit the HTTP submit URL, it seem to work as it should (this is the expected output when not using the popcon script to submit reports): I get the same when I use a web broswer: http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi GET /cgi-bin/popcon.cgi HTTP/1.1 Host: popcon.debian.org User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060506 Firefox/1.5.0.4 (Debian-1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.4-3) Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: en-gb,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Connection: keep-alive HTTP/1.x 200 OK Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 12:32:40 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-16 DAV/1.0.3 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Via: 1.1 Application and Content Networking System Software 5.3.5 Connection: Keep-Alive Debian Popularity-Contest HTTP-POST submission URL Visit http://popcon.debian.org/ for more info. I also tried to submit a new report from my laptop, and this did not give any errors to syslog, which it should if it failed to get the proper reply from the HTTP server. # /etc/cron.weekly/popularity-contest # grep popularity-contest /var/log/messages # I get kronos popularity-contest: unable to submit report to http://popcon.debian.org/cgi-bin/popcon.cgi.; in the log Are you still seeing the problem? If so, I suggest checking for HTTP proxies between your machine and popcon.debian.org. Yep, still getting it everytime. I don't know if there is a transparent proxy here at work, I'm not aware of one, and if there is it shouldn't interfering with sumbitting data. I've now tested some other debian boxes here and sometimes they are able to sumbit ok, but not always. For example on another box I saw this: Failed to upload, answer 'HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 12:44:53 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-16 DAV/1.0.3 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN HTMLHEAD TITLE400 Bad Request/TITLE /HEADBODY H1Bad Request/H1 Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.P The request line contained invalid characters following the protocol string.P P HR ADDRESSApache/1.3.33 Server at gluck.debian.org Port 80/ADDRESS /BODY/HTML ' Not sure how this could happen. The error is coming back from gluck because it obviously doesn't understand the header enough to realise which virtual host it was even aimed at, which does suggest that it's getting damaged in transit, or maybe before actually being sent. I tried adding the -C option to the uploader and now the box that couldn't send before is able to send fine everytime, and the box that could send sometimes, now always fails with answer = ; Any suggestions on how to debug this?

[Richard Burton] Via: 1.1 Application and Content Networking System Software 5.3.5 This was an interesting header. Could it be that Cisco Application and Content Networking System is filtering the connection, and failing at it? I found URL:http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/conntsw/ps491/index.html while googling for that header. It explains what it is. Based on this, I am fairly confident that the problem is with your network setup, and not with the popcon service. I recommend you talk to your network providers, and ask them to find and fix the problem. I have no idea how to debug it. I'll close this bug in a few days, and keep it open in case you are able to indicate that the problem is indeed a problem with the popcon service. :) Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

severity 379732 normal thanks [Richard Antony Burton] Can no longer upload popcon result by http (which as the default method probably means few other people are able to either). I added the -d option to the uploader and ran it a few times (with several different results): I am unable to reproduce this.
