Don't understand an Error in the API log

Adrian Cotter · April 2010

I was looking through the errors in my api log, and saw this error:

ERROR 2010-04-07 11:49:19,269 IP-207.114.134.6 ConsId-0 URL-https://secure2.convio.net/sierra/site/SRConsAPI?&method=createOrUpdate&login_name=****&login_password=****&api_key=****&v=1.0&suppress_response_codes=true&response_format=xml&primary_email=***&first_name=***&last_name=***&home_zip=***&add_group_ids=94621&source=110DUZED01&sub_source=http://us.mc817.mail.yahoo.com/mc/showFolder?&.rand=1192656838&order=down&pSize=25&tt=846&clean&hash=903f0c258cb32a361cfaa524de0b1e37&fb&acrumb=ldQygGljQn9 - Missing value for login_name (null) or login_password ( null).

"Missing value for login_name (null) or login_password ( null)."

But looking at the URL login_name and login_password both have values .

I see a total of at least 2 examples of this in each of the latest log files I've opened.

Any ideas what's really going on here?

Thanks,

Adrian

P.S. As an aside, it would be really nice if the log files were ordered by date updated. It's really difficult to look through the list and find the latest one updated, when one happens to be trying to test something.

I noticed that another comment, http://community.customer.convio.com/message/8790#8790, mentioned that the login name and password must be in the body of the POST rather than in the URL when calling a server-side API. Have you tried that?

Sorry, maybe I should give a little context -- thousands of similar calls are working correctly. It doesn't make sense that these are not. Unless they are from a different source than I think they are.
