XML-RPC access to trac-hacks.org disabled (forbidden access)

[egavaldo]

Hi there, Not sure this is the right place to post this. when I'm trying to use the XML-RPC plugin via my Java client (and the example library provided), I'm always getting this exception:

java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException
	at $Proxy0.query(Unknown Source)
	at com.xqual.xstudio.sql.external_bugtracking.trac_0_11_x.CStudioXmlRpcTrac_0_11_x_Engine.<init>(CStudioXmlRpcTrac_0_11_x_Engine.java:70)
	at com.xqual.xstudio.sql.external_bugtracking.trac_0_11_x.CStudioXmlRpcTrac_0_11_x_Engine.main(CStudioXmlRpcTrac_0_11_x_Engine.java:313)
Caused by: org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcHttpTransportException: HTTP server returned unexpected status: Forbidden
	at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcSunHttpTransport.getInputStream(XmlRpcSunHttpTransport.java:94)
	at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcStreamTransport.sendRequest(XmlRpcStreamTransport.java:152)
	at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcHttpTransport.sendRequest(XmlRpcHttpTransport.java:143)
	at org.apache.xmlrpc.client.XmlRpcSunHttpTransport.sendRequest(XmlRpcSunHttpTransport.java:69)

however, my code is pretty simple and should be correct:

	    try {
		    xmlRpcClientConfig = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
			xmlRpcClientConfig.setServerURL(new URL("http://trac-hacks.org/login/xmlrpc"));
			xmlRpcClientConfig.setBasicUserName("egavaldo");
			xmlRpcClientConfig.setBasicPassword("<my password>");
			//xmlRpcClientConfig.setConnectionTimeout(60 * 1000);
			//xmlRpcClientConfig.setReplyTimeout(60 * 1000);
			//xmlRpcClientConfig.setEnabledForExtensions(true); // ?

		    xmlRpcClient = new XmlRpcClient();
			xmlRpcClient.setConfig(xmlRpcClientConfig);
			//xmlRpcClient.setTransportFactory(new XmlRpcCommonsTransportFactory(xmlRpcClient)); //?

			xmlRpcProxy = new TrackerDynamicProxy(xmlRpcClient);
		} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
			return;
		}

		System.out.println("about to execute a command...");

		// get some information !!!
        Ticket ticket = (Ticket)xmlRpcProxy.newInstance(Ticket.class);

        try {
			//Vector vector = ticket.getTicketFields();
        	//Vector vector = ticket.get(new Integer(5896));
        	Vector vector = ticket.query(); //owner=egavaldo

			System.out.println("- - - - - result = " + vector);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

This sniplet should connect to the TRAC live instance (​http://trac-hacks.org/login/xmlrpc) with my own credentials... but it looks there are some rights problems. Any help? Many thanks in advance, Eg

Yes, it should. But it won't as you and everyone else don't actually have permission to use XML-RPC at trac-hacks.org anymore. Try login/xmlrpc using your credentials to verify that.

This Trac is currently running old 0.10.x, and the XmlRpcPlugin code from that era does not play nicely with things like spam filter and so on. As an endless stream of test & spam tickets and wiki edits arrived, we saw no other good solution than to disable RPC access. It will return once the site gets updated to Trac 0.11.x or later, and using the latest XmlRpcPlugin version.

I've renamed the summary and will keep the ticket open as a reminder.

Ok, thank you very much. I'll install Trac somewhere to test my code then. Thanks, Eg

This is working now , see ​http://trac-hacks.org/blog/2014-02-08-xml-rpc-is-back . Unless I am missing something this ticket should be closed .
