Client cannot verify user

[komar]

When I try verify user, I get in log:

2016-06-04 23:09:58,109 Trac[web_ui] ERROR: No protocol matching Content-Type 'application/json' at path '/login/xmlrpc'.

After I patch /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tracrpc/web_ui.py, everyting work fine:

    def process_request(self, req):
        protocol = req.args.get('protocol', None)
        content_type = req.get_header('Content-Type') or 'text/html'
-        if protocol:
+        if protocol or content_type == 'application/json':
            # Perform the method call
            self.log.debug("RPC incoming request of content type '%s' " \

Please make sure to choose the correct Component when reporting defects.

I was thinking that must be fixed in AndroidClientIntegration, becouse other RPC clients working fine. Or I this must be fixed in both sides.

That patch you provided in comment:description is a patch of the XmlRpcPlugin code: xmlrpcplugin/trunk/tracrpc/web_ui.py@9970:65#L62​.

Yes, becouse I know how to patch trac, but it's hard for me patch and try android app :)

I don't know the Andoid app, but if you have any way of chaning the URL to /login/rpc instead of /login/xmlrpc? The old deprecated URL of /xmlrpc and /login/xmlrpc is tied to the XML-RPC protocol and will not match when you pass a request with JSON content instead of XML.

If not you will have to request a patch for the Andoid app as I cannot use your "band-aid" patch for your very personal use-case. It conflicts with the protocol-agnostic nature of the RPC plugin, and we would need to drop our goal of 100% passing tests... ;-)

The Android app uses the 'standard' URI as prescribed by the XMLRPC plugin. In the app I have no control of that; I just send the URL to the TRAC server and await the response of the server and if correct the app processes the JSON reponse. I tried myself using the login/xmlrpc variant and received a incorrect protocol error which is what I would expect. The correct way to access the TRAC server from the Android app is to use the login/rpc or login/jsonrpc variant. (Or without the login if login is not required)
