Subject:

Searching does not work anymore (api.metacpan.org v0 is gone)

Trying cpans seems to fail: $ /opt/perl-5.24.1/bin/perl /opt/perl-5.24.1/bin/cpans malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at /opt/perl-5.24.1/bin/cpans line 39. Probably this is caused by the shutdown of the metacpan v0 API: $ strace -eread -s512 /opt/perl-5.24.1/bin/perl /opt/perl-5.24.1/bin/cpans |& grep 410 read(3, "HTTP/1.1 410 Gone\r\nServer: Varnish\r\nRetry-After: 0\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\nContent-Length: 557\r\nAccept-Ranges: bytes\r\nDate: Mon, 05 Jun 2017 16:15:00 GMT\r\nVia: 1.1 varnish\r\nConnection: close\r\nX-Served-By: cache-hhn1548-HHN\r\nX-Cache: MISS\r\nX-Cache-Hits: 0\r\nX-Timer: S1496679300.249647,VS0,VE1\r\n\r\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n <head>\n <title>MetaCPAN v0 API</title>\n <style type=\"text/css\">\n body {\n font-family: sans-serif;\n }\n </style>\n <link rel=\""..., 1024) = 854

Wow, I forgot about this app! I wonder if anyone else uses it -- do you use it often? I'll try to fix it ASAP but it might be a bit before it comes to the top of my TODO list. On Mon Jun 05 12:16:37 2017, SREZIC wrote: Show quoted text

Actually I am not a user --- I just stumbled over the problem in another application (matrix.cpantesters.org) and did a systematic search of CPAN distributions using the metacpan v0 api. Regards, Slaven On 2017-06-05 14:04:03, AWWAIID wrote: Show quoted text

Actually, the attached patch is more polite (both wrt metacpan servers and user's network resources) as it only requests needed fields. Best, Gian Piero.
