Can't do add_format anymore

[nqk]

Dear Kovid,

I use this command line to push (update) epub from Windows PC to Calibre content server on Raspberry Pie powered by ArchLinuxArm

calibredb.exe add_format --with-library=<my remote Calibre> --username=<me> --password=<my password> <bookid> book.epub

It always worked, but I got this to day.

Python function terminated unexpectedly
  HTTP Error 400: Bad Request (Error Code: 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site.py", line 101, in main
  File "site.py", line 78, in run_entry_point

  File "site-packages\mechanize\_mechanize.py", line 310, in _mech_open
mechanize._response.httperror_seek_wrapper: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request

The server is still running.


If you implement "update/delete formats", this is no longer my issue.

I tried to use SSH too. The following command line used to work too (I always copy and paste, change only the bookid.

calibredb add_format <id> "/home/alarm/update/update.epub" --with-library=http://localhost:port/#Library --username=xxx --password=yyy

I got this

what versions of calibre do you have on the ARm and windows machines? IIRC this was a bug in some older versions of calibre. Update on both and you should be fine.

The latest one. I did pacman -Suy.

Downgrade python2-msgpack on your server to 0.5.6 and you will be fine.

I did system update today and all is fine.
