the xmlrpc api is broken when using http 1.0. the second call to curl uses http/1.0 and returns an empty response: $ cat >body.txt <<EOF <?xml version='1.0'?> <methodCall> <methodName>package_releases</methodName> <params> <param> <value><string>e</string></value> </param> </params> </methodCall> EOF $ curl -X POST -d @body.txt http://pypi.python.org/pypi --header "Content-Type:text/xml" <?xml version='1.0'?> <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value><array><data> <value><string>1.4.5</string></value> </data></array></value> </param> </params> </methodResponse> $ curl -0 -X POST -d @body.txt http://pypi.python.org/pypi --header "Content-Type:text/xml" $ _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
