This was working fine in argus version 2.2. Does someone knows if this a bug or does something has change in the argus 2.3 RC release?

Hi Phanos,

Are you retrieving the URL using a browser or are you testing the REST API via and application or curl? Try it using curl (there are instructions in the REST API wiki page: http://www.argus-tv.com/wiki/index.php?title=REST_API). Also there are log files in ProgramData on the server computer (can't remember the exact folder) that may give you more insight into the nature of the error.

Regards,

Hi Ariehd,

When I try
"curl --insecure -u user:password -d '' https://htpc:49941/ArgusTV/Core/Version"
I get nothing back but when I try
"curl --insecure -u user:password -d '' http://htpc:49943/ArgusTV/Core/Version"

The same does not work in my browser. Do you know how I can make it work in the browser as before?

Hi guys,

So is this a bug or I have misunderstood something here?

Hi Phanos
I doubt, this was working with 2.2.2.
This is an API - Advanced Programming Interface - not a Web-Service.
If I'm wrong, please reply - then we have to find out...

I´m an old fart - and it used to stand for ¨advanced¨. But I don´t give (sorry) a sh*t - it´s (unfortunately!) NOT a web-service. Answering web-service requests would let usability explode! I´m a fan of it, using it daily with control systems.

Actually it worked up until version 2.2.1 (I was not using version 2.2.2). I have been using it to access the status of live tv and recordings through a c# application (using http request) that I created. I have been using it for the past 1.5 years and it was working fine!

I am pretty sure in the past also it worked in the browser since this is how I was testing it from time to time to fix bugs and put new features to my app.

After upgrading to version 2.3 it stopped working!

So it was not supposed to work in previous version as well? Was there a bug in previous versions that allowed me to use it? Is there a way to restore that functionality?

Regards,

Phanos

Please first try https plus user name / password

Please first try https plus user name / password

I tried it but it does not work. What I did was I typed the following address on firefox

"https://htpc:49941/ArgusTV/control/ActiveRecordings"

It prompt me for a username and password (the one that I use on the argus web interface) and I enter it.

I got the same error. Should I apply the username/password in another way?
