406 not acceptable on POST /issues.xml

Added by Check Mate almost 13 years ago

Hi Forum! This is my first post here and i only recently started working with Redmine.

I have a (hopefully small) problem with my Redmine 1.4-stable installation on ubuntu.

When i am making a POST to /uploads.xml with the following content:

POST /issues.xml

<issue>
<subject>Example</subject>
<project_id>1</project_id>
<priority_id>1</priority_id>
</issue>

I get a 406 "not acceptable". I played around with the fields and made sure that i am authenticated as admin and that the POST is well formed. I also checked if the project_id and priority_id exist, they do. Setting the Logger-Level to DEBUG did not really shed light onto the issue. Some SQL which seems correct and working.

As i am new to Redmine i am wondering what i might have done wrong. The installation, the POST, or what?

FYI: I am also able to Create Issues via the website and java-rest-api. I am asking for this because i can't find a possibility to use the java-rest-api to connect issues with attachments i have uploaded. So i am trying to understand the way i can do it with XML. Any help on this or help on alternative ways to attach files to issues would also be very appreciated.

How do you issue the request?

Currently i have no access to my computer at work, so i can't post a code snippet. But i have copied the code of a page (google for "using-java-post-block-xml-web" it's the post on DZone from 03.03.2009)*. What i do is in Java(jdk1.6) i create a String with the content as value and submit it via an URLconnection. At some point i also add the credentials, which should be ok as i don't get a 401/403.

*couldn't post the link as my post is marked as spam if i do

You're mixing creation of issue and attachment upload since you try to make a POST to /upload.xml with some issue request body.

Please read Rest_api#Attaching-files and:
  1. upload the attachment with a POST /uploads.xml
  2. create the issue with a POST /issues.xml or update it with a PUT /issues.xml and specify the token you received in response to the previous upload request

FYI, there is also a more specific HttpURLConnection, it could be more enjoyable to use.

Hi Etienne,

thank you for you answer. I just reinstalled redmine step by step to make sure it is allright and changed the Url to host/issues.xml as proposed by you. Now adding a issue in this way works!

I will now test uploading an issue with a token and report back within the day.

It's working quite wonderful. :)

A BIG THANK YOU from me and my colleagues (which are testing "on the road") as well. The outcome of this little thread will make their life much easier.
