Re^3: Changing data in Sharepointlist via LWP/JSON - OData.ODataContentTypeException :(

I was hoping for a more professional reply. I have no intention to start a religious war. I don't really like Sharepoint either. But I have to work with it and I'm glad I can use perl.

Hmm,

you're asking why some random website is saying its only getting "application/json" when the program you show is sending "application/json;odata=verbose" ...

the bartending analogy seems apt :)

Corion brings up a good point about looking outside of perl locally (using wireshark) for interlopers (firewalls), but odds are its a bartending problem

https://metacpan.org/pod/XML::Compile::SOAP#Supported-servers says Both BEA and SharePoint servers produce illegal SOAP responses! It is a sad story. , who knows, maybe the same goes for sharepoint JSON support (wouldn't be surprised)

So, my response doesn't seem unprofessional to me, or religious ...

I didn't even try to roast your fowl for your included test password of sucKmYducK

Oh yes... I know about those problems with products that don't comply to standards. I remember having a really hard time tying a .net-application to a cold-fusion-site via SOAP a couple of years ago. Fortunately Corion could solve my problem. It was no sharepoint-problem after all. Hmmm... but not a perlproblem either, since it was somehow obvious in retrospect. Lets settle for me being the bartender, that was too focused on the drinks than on himself ;) And for the testpassword: I always post a weird one and wait if someone picks it up. But I can asure you, that I'm aware that sucking ducks is nothing I would do in real live.	[reply]
