Hi Everyone.
I have been playing with a script to effectively write my own PAN user agent for a rather specific reason.
I can confirm that my script generates a valid xml script and I can post it via the api browser and see that the IP address and new username correlate.
The bit where I get stuck is getting cURL to post the the xml file to the api. I am using the following command:
curl --insecure --form file=@output.xml "https://192.168.1.1/api/?type=user-id&action=set&key=INSERT-KEY-HERE"
and receive the following error back:
<response status = 'error' code = '400'><result><msg>No file uploaded</msg></result></response>
any help would be much appreciated thanks!

also, when I try this:
wget --no-check-certificate --post-file output.xml "https://192.168.1.1/api/?type=user-id&action=set&client=wget&file-name=output.xml"
the file is processed by the api and I can see the user to ip mapping, however wget continues to retry the command as it is expecting a response

I know this is a ridiculous sounding hack, but couldn't you simply set wget's 'retries' option to 1 and call it a day?
‘-t number’ ‘--tries=number’ Set number of retries to number. Specify 0 or ‘inf’ for infinite retrying. The default is to retry 20 times, with the exception of fatal errors like “connection refused” or “not found” (404), which are not retried.

definitely wont be calling it a day, but this *may* get me out of the woods for now and only because I am in a hurry

Yes I meant "call it a day" as a relative term, just to get it temporarily working I suppose the response from the PA should be a 200 'OK' that curl or wget never receives... might be a bug report you have to end up working with support on
