Drupal xml-rpc issue

Question

I developed an application in java, and I want to connect my application to my drupal site, I use the services module and drupal xmlrpc for web service.

I tested on my local machine localhost and it works without problems, but when I try on the website of my company I get the following error:

Failed to parse server's response: Expected methodResponse element, got front

I tried sniffing the packets and I saw that the packet has been sent by the site.

Answer 1

I have the same issue and I used burp suite to see the packets sent, I found the problem it is the XML response:

<front><?xml version="1.0"?>

<methodResponse>
  <params>
  <param>
    <value><struct>
  <member><name>sessid</name><value><string>RnpLboQS6d-4AAak-

Here there is a <front> tag that is added to the xml, when I remove this tag with burp it works perfectly, thats why we have : Failed to parse server's response: Expected methodResponse element, got front but how to solve this problem with drupal?

Answer 2

Maybe we could use a java proxy to get the response from the server and try to modify it to delete the front tag from the xml ?
