API request returns xml on error

[scJohn]

I have the following fetch API:

PHP Code:

fetch(`http://localhost:8866/services/service?method=recording.save&format=json&event_id=11579903`) 


I am requesting 'format=json'.

When i get an good(valid event_id) response I get a json response: info [recurringRecording.js]: response "{\"stat\":\"ok\"}\r\n"

When i get an error(invalid event_id) response I get xml: info [recurringRecording.js]: response "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>\r\n<rsp stat=\"fail\">\r\n  <err code=\"2\" msg=\"Invalid Args\" />\r\n</rsp>\r\n"

Status Code is 200 for both requests.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug.
Thanks

Is that the current 5.0.8 release?

I can't duplicate this in v5 but since you aren't using a sid there are potential errors anyway with ipv6.

I can confirm this with the legacy v4 server.

This is for version 4.2.4 (190307). I have not migrated to version 5.

Also, at least with version 4, this API does not check for duplicates. The API will schedule another instance of the event_id even if an existing record once has already be scheduled. Just run the the API 3 times with the same event_id and you will have 3 instances in the SCHEDULED_RECORDING table.

I'm intending to do any further 4.x releases. The problem with it returning xml in this error case was fixed in v5.
