404 responses from certain 'equivalents' requests

Post by jc275 » Sat Jun 02, 2018 3:53 pm

Certain 'images' endpoints are not working on version 3.2, unexpectedly returning a 404 response.

This only affects certain document IDs, with most documents unaffected. However, it is unexpected because the same endpoints work perfectly on version 3.1 (end-of-life) for exactly the same document IDs.

Here are some examples:

https://ops.epo.org/end-of-life/rest-se ... nts/images
https://ops.epo.org/end-of-life/rest-se ... nts/images
https://ops.epo.org/end-of-life/rest-se ... nts/images
https://ops.epo.org/end-of-life/rest-se ... nts/images
https://ops.epo.org/end-of-life/rest-se ... nts/images
https://ops.epo.org/end-of-life/rest-se ... nts/images
https://ops.epo.org/end-of-life/rest-se ... nts/images

The above links work fine. However, when these endpoints are accessed via version 3.2 (with authentication) instead of 'end-of-life', a 404 response is received with the following xml.

Code: Select all

<fault xmlns="http://ops.epo.org">
    <code>CLIENT.DomainAccess</code>
    <message>An invalid reference was used in request. Please check if the reference is valid for this service.</message>
</fault>

Hi,

Thank you for informing us about missing images, we will inform the department in question and ask them to load it asap.
