Hi Bret,

Thanks for getting back to me. However, The information you provided didn't help me out. I'm using the taxii2client code from here: https://github.com/oasis-open/cti-taxii-client

On line 484 of __init__.py there is a check that takes place. The snippet is as follows:

content_type = resp.headers['Content-Type']

if content_type != accept:

msg = "Unexpected Response Content-Type: {}"

raise TAXIIServiceException(msg.format(content_type))

return resp.json()

My execution goes into Unexpected Response Content-Type because the header from https://test.freetaxii.com:8000/taxii/ returns:

File "D:\Work\STIX_TAXII\taxii2client\__init__.py", line 484, in get raise TAXIIServiceException(msg.format(content_type)) taxii2client.TAXIIServiceException: Unexpected Response Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

I'm expecting something like:

MEDIA_TYPE_STIX_V20 = "application/vnd.oasis.stix+json; version=2.1; charset=utf-8"

The discovery server returned what I was expecting last night. Now it is giving me "text/plain".

Thanks!

Jason

Jason,

When making a request to the TAXII server, for TAXII resources like discovery, API roots, collections, etc you need to use the TAXII media type, aka "application/vnd.oasis.taxii+json".  

When you make a request at the objects resource, you need to use a STIX media type, aka "application/vnd.oasis.stix+json"

Let me know if that helps.

Bret

Subject: [EXT] [cti-users] Client Python Code

 

I had some Python client code working last night. Making the following minor change:

MEDIA_TYPE_STIX_V20 = "application/vnd.oasis.stix+json; version=2.1; charset=utf-8"

With this change, I was able to call get_objects() as well as get_object(id).

However, this morning the following response is being returned:

File "D:\Work\STIX_TAXII\taxii2client\__init__.py", line 484, in get

    raise TAXIIServiceException(msg.format(content_type))

taxii2client.TAXIIServiceException: Unexpected Response Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

I can modify MEDIA_TYPE_STIX_V20 to match what is returned, but it only gets me to a future error where it looks like json is expected, not plain text.

Anyone else experiencing this?
