I am attempting to setup BugZilla to receive bug reports from another system using the XML-RPC interface.

BugZilla works fine on its own with its own interface.

When I attempt to test the XML-RPC functionality by accessing "xmlrpc.cgi" in my browser I get the error:

The XML-RPC Interface feature is not available in this Bugzilla
 at C:\BugZilla\xmlrpc.cgi line 27
    main::BEGIN(...) called at C:\BugZilla\xmlrpc.cgi line 29
    eval {...} called at C:\BugZilla\xmlrpc.cgi line 29

Following this, I install test-taint package from the default Perl repository, version 1.04. Re-running "xmlrpc.cgi" gives me an IIS error:

502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.
There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server.

So I run the checksetup.pl which informs me that:

Use of uninitialized value in open at C:/Perl/site/lib/Test/Taint.pm line 334, <DATA> line 558.

Installing Test-Taint from CPAN is the same. I assume XML-RPC is reliant on Test-Taint, but Test-Taint doesn't seem to run correctly.

If I ignore this error and attempt to invoke "bz_webservice_demo.pl" to add an entry the script times out.

How can I get the XML-RPC / Test-Taint function working ?

  • Any specific reason for using XML-RPC with bugzilla instead of REST API? -- wiki.mozilla.org/…

  • Unfortunately it's what the 3rd party app uses which we're doing the integrating with.
