<![CDATA[REST API access custom software]]>Hi all,

We are developping an application for a client to fetch some datas on a custom dashboard. We use the REST API to get the data values but we are facing an error:

<html><\n><head><\n><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/><\n><title>Error 406 Not Acceptable</title><\n></head><\n><body><h2>HTTP ERROR 406</h2><\n><p>Problem accessing /rest/v1/login/admin. Reason:<\n><pre> Not Acceptable</pre></p><hr><i><small>Powered by Jetty://</small></i><hr/><\n><\n></body><\n></html><\n>

we tested to change the headers / application/json , ...

We tried with the swagger and all OK / if we're not logged in we receive a 401 error..

Is the header the problem or do we need to add the distant ip addresses? In which file?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Best regards

Thanks a bunch, once, i figured out the whole CORS thing, and got the server to start back up, it works perfect. Just a warning for anyone else working on this, make sure don't leave anything in the override-web.xml file thats not xml. if you don't get the syntax right, your mango server won't start back up. It will start, then auto-terminate on a NullPointerException.

If so then maybe you need to read this post by terrypacker here: http://infiniteautomation.com/forum/topic/1944/mango-rest-api-special-key

Same issue. (maybe others as well)

Login issues: ( i'm using the python requests module btw)
The response I'm getting for an invalid login is as follows: ( I replaced dates and stuff with '...' for brevity)
response code 406 {'content-length': '0', 'errors': 'Invalid login', 'set-cookie': '...;Path=/', 'expires': '...', 'messages': '', 'server': 'Jetty(...)', 'date': '...'}

Here's what I get for an accepted one: (Well, I think its accepted. )
response code 406 {'date': '...', 'set-cookie': '...Path=/', 'content-length': '0', 'expires': '...', 'server': 'Jetty(...)'}

This is what I get when I query a data point when it says 'Invalid login'
response code 401 {'date': '...', 'content-length': '0', 'errors': 'User not logged in', 'messages': '', 'server': 'Jetty(...)'}

And this for what I think is accepted:
response code 406 {'date': '...', 'content-length': '0', 'server': 'Jetty(...)'}
no data and still have the 406 (not acceptable error) code.

The kicker is, if i login to my mango through the browser, then open up a new tab and paste the url my request library generates, the data pops up on the screen just fine.
here's the link i used
http://.../rest/v1/point-values/DP_363530?from=2015-10-29T00%3A00%3A00.000-10%3A00&timePeriodType=MINUTES&timePeriods=0&useRendered=False&rollup=&to=2015-10-29T23%3A59%3A59.999-10%3A00&unitConversion=False

I'm not even sure if this is a login, configuration, or auth type problem. ( ive tried both basic auth and digest the results here are from basic)
What makes it harder to diagnose is that I get the same errors with the swagger docs page. Even when logged in. But if i paste the url the docs page generates and paste it into the browser , the data pops right up.

Any ideas?
