HTTP GET to iDigi data service did not get response correctly

Hi,

I tried to fetch the data from my iDigi data service. Under ~/test there are two files: text.txt and TestData_20Jan2013_11_14_47.xml.

I was able to fetch the data using a web browser. But when I tried to do so using Python, it did not work.

Below is the python scripts that I used to do this job. But I did not get the files properly. Instead I got the following reposes. I got return code 200. But the returnmsg and getfile() did not seem correct. Did I do something wrong or miss something? Thanks.

-----------Python Scripts Below-------

    auth = base64.encodestring("%s:%s"%(USERNAME,PASSWORD))[:-1]	       
    host = 'developer.idigi.com'
    webservice = httplib.HTTP(host,80)
    webservice.putrequest('GET', '/ws/data/~/test')   
    webservice.putheader("Authorization", "Basic %s"%auth)
    webservice.putheader("Content-type", "text/xml; charset=\"UTF-8\"")
    webservice.endheaders()
    # get the reply to the request
    returncode, returnmsg, headers = webservice.getreply()
    # if successful, print out the contents of the XML file
    if returncode == 200:
        xml = webservice.getfile()
        #print xml.read()
        print returncode
        print "

"
print returnmsg
print "
"
print headers

-------------returncode, returnmsg, headers -------------------------------

Hi,

Is there a reason you have this line commented out?

#print xml.read()

I tried running your code and when I uncommented that I got the actual contents of the file.

Thanks,
Chris

I got it work. I put print xml.read() back to codes.

Actually I updated the iDigi URL to my.idigi.com. I was told that if I keep using developer.idigi.com, it can be redirected now. But it will not work at one point in the future.

Thank you, Chris.
