Question about PAN::XAPI module

Not applicable

Hello,

I was trying to use the PAN::XAPI module provided in the PAN-perl-20120107.tar.gz package and I ran into an issue. When I try to use PAN::XAPI to make request using the API key specified in my .panrc I recieve "User not authorized to perform this operation" error messages.

When I try accessing the API via other methods (i.e. manual entry into a web browser and scripts that don't use PAN::XAPI) it works fine. Judging from output that I was able to see for a debug, it looks like the PAN::XAPI module is actually URL encoding the key, which causes issues.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Solomon - this is known issue in Panperl. Yeah you are right that pan perl is encoding already encoded key. We are planning to fix this in the next release.

For now please generate a key that works and provide it in .panrc file and continue using it.

Thanks,
