Empty XMLRPC response from launchpad

Tue Oct 27 21:00:19 GMT 2009

I'm trying fix bug #186920 by using a modified form of Bill Bumgarner's 
HTTPTransport (python bug #648658) for xmlrpclib which allows it to use urllib2 
and thus an HTTP proxy, but I'm having a problem where the XMLRPC reply from 
launchpad is just an empty page.

C:\>bzrdev launchpad-open lp:bzr
HTTPTransport: url=https://xmlrpc.edge.launchpad.net/bazaar/
Request headers:
  Host: xmlrpc.edge.launchpad.net
  Content-type: text/xml
  User-agent: bzr/2.1.0dev2 (xmlrpclib/1.0.1)
Request Body:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>resolve_lp_path</methodName>
<params>
<param>
<value><string>bzr</string></value>
</param>
</params>
</methodCall>

Response headers:
  Content-Type: text/html
  Refresh: 0; URL=https://xmlrpc.edge.launchpad.net/bazaar/
Response data:
<HTML></HTML>

Any idea what could be causing this? Is the XMLRPC request malformed?

Thanks,
Gordon
