[GeoNetwork-users] API: HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException

Marko_Praprotnik · November 21, 2018, 7:22am

Hi,

I’m getting HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException when trying to enter a new record through the API. My GN is v3.4.3.0 and the metadata XML file was prepared by exporting an existing entry.

The command I’m running:
curl -v -X POST "http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/api/0.1/records?metadataType=METADATA&uuidProcessing=GENERATEUUID&rejectIfInvalid=false&publishToAll=true&assignToCatalog=false&transformWith=_none_" -H "accept: */*" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -H "X-XSRF-TOKEN: c214a165-b862-82db-29c7-267676f4a895" --user admin:admin -b /tmp/cookie -d @path/to/metadata.xml

Log I’m getting:
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

* Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)

The response I’m getting:

I’ve been fiddling with the Content-Type header, but to no avail. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and don’t know what to try to solve my problem. Any clues or help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Marko

I haven't tried, but have you checked if sending -H "Content-Type:

Thanks for replying, and sorry for my late reply … yes, I’ve tried also the application/xml content type, but it produces the same error.

Any other ideas?

Not sure if it’s related in any way, but I’m running GN on Jetty 9

Thanks and kind regards,
Marko

Although requesting "Accept: */*" should work it doesn't. You have to
request "Accept: application/json". For example:

curl -X POST \
  '
http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/srv/api/0.1/records?metadataType=METADATA&uuidProcessing=GENERATEUUID&rejectIfInvalid=false&publishToAll=true&assignToCatalog=false&transformWith=_none_’
\
  *-H 'Accept: application/json'* \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -H 'X-XSRF-TOKEN: e4fadc4d-4299-478d-849a-1627e7684c33' \
  -b /tmp/cookie
  -d @/path/to/metadata.xml

Thanks Juan,

however, I'm still not able to create a record throug API.

If I use "Accept: application/json" header, I get the following exception:
{"message":"MultipartException","code":"unsatisfied_request_parameter","description":"The current request is not a multipart request"}

If I set this header to "Accept: application/xml", I get the same error as with "Accept: */*":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><apiError><code>runtime_exception</code><description>Could not find acceptable representation</description><message>HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException</message></apiError>

I see that you are also using the -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=", which I haven't set. If I copy/paste this header literally, nothing changes.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Marko

This header is the same that using "--user admin:admin" in curl so it
doesn't matter. The problem is that you must send the data as a Multipart
Form. Using curl the command would be like

curl -X POST \

Ok, thanks for explaining that! And thanks for solving my problem with HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException!

If I add 2 content-type headers, as you suggest, I get:
{"message":"MultipartException","code":"unsatisfied_request_parameter","description":"The current request is not a multipart request"}

If I ommit the 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' header, I get:
{"message":"MultipartException","code":"unsatisfied_request_parameter","description":"Could not parse multipart servlet request; nested exception is org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found"}

Then, if I add a random boundary to the 'content-type: multipart/form-data' header, I get no error:
{"errors":,"infos":,"uuid":"6e5b9bfe-9124-4864-98c8-f1c68cfdec80","metadata":,"metadataErrors":{},"metadataInfos":{},"numberOfRecordNotFound":0,"numberOfRecordsNotEditable":0,"numberOfNullRecords":0,"numberOfRecords":0,"numberOfRecordsProcessed":0,"numberOfRecordsWithErrors":0,"running":false,"startIsoDateTime":"2018-11-27T12:30:40","endIsoDateTime":"2018-11-27T12:30:40","ellapsedTimeInSeconds":0,"totalTimeInSeconds":0,"type":"SimpleMetadataProcessingReport"}

I can't find the record in GeoNetwork by searching for the title I entered in the xml or by loading metadata for the uuid I got back from the API. But I guess it's because I was actually trying to import a slightly modified record of an existing entry in my GN (I only changed the title). I will prepare a new XML from scratch and report back.

Thanks again, Juan!

Marko

Hi,

-F xml=@/path/to/metadata.xml
should probably be
-F file=@/path/to/metadata.xml

See http://localhost:8080/geonetwork/doc/api/#/records/insertFile and check
the parameters name
