Rest-API gives invalid xml response

morahman — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 19:20:24 GMT

When receiving an error from the Panorama REST API, the platform is responding with what appears to be an invalid XML document. Here is the data in question:

<response><code>16</code><message>Invalid Credential</message><details><entry @type="CauseInfo"><causes><entry><code>2</code><module>panui_auth</module><description>Invalid Credential</description></entry></causes></entry></details></response>

All XML parsers/validators refuse this XML document as being not well formed. Removing the @ character appears to fix the problem.

Full URL Get: https://usdeast01pano.hersheys.com/restapi/v9.1/Objects/Addresses?location=shared&output-format=xml

Parameters (Key | Value) -- Already embedded in the get above: location | shared output-format | xml

Non-Standard Headers (Key | Value): X-PAN-KEY | <Invalid API Key>

Response: <response><code>16</code><message>Invalid Credential</message><details><entry @type="CauseInfo"><causes><entry><code>2</code><module>panui_auth</module><description>Invalid Credential</description></entry></causes></entry></details></response>

Hi @morahman,

I can confirm I can see the same behaviour. I have raised a ticket with engineering to investigate further. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
