Question

I’ve setup a Redmine server for a project I’m working on here with the REST API enabled: http://zqwjs.se.rit.edu/redmine. However, when I went to test if the issues.xml file is showing up on my redmine server (http://zqwjs.se.rit.edu/redmine/issues.xml), I’ll end up getting a blank page. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should fix my redmine configuration to allow me to call the REST API without errors?

Note: If I ran the following ruby code against my redmine server, I’ll get a 406 error back:

require 'rubygems'
require 'active_resource'

# Issue model on the client side
class Issue < ActiveResource::Base
   self.site = 'http://zqwjs.se.rit.edu/redmine/'
end

# Retrieving issues
issues = Issue.find(:all)
print issues

Printout from console:

I don’t have this problem with version 1.2.1. Your exact code works fine on my installation, so I assume that you are running an older version of Redmine that has not built in the Issues REST API yet.
