I am seeing the same thing. On the puppet master, the http log shows: DEBUG Puppet::Network::HTTP::WEBrickREST is invoked. [2010-02-11 18:51:13] xxx1076.xxxxxx.com - - [11/Feb/2010:18:51:13 PST] "GET /production/file_metadatas/modules/faban2/benchmarks? &&links=manage&recurse=true HTTP/1.1" 400 45 [2010-02-11 18:51:13] - -> /production/file_metadatas/modules/faban2/ benchmarks?&&links=manage&recurse=true [2010-02-11 18:51:13] DEBUG close: xx.xx.xx.xx:37585 [2010-02-11 18:51:13] DEBUG accept: xx.xx.xx.xx:37586
Notice that the URL twice has '' where you would expect to see name=value parameters: /production/file_metadatas/modules/faban2/benchmarks? &&links=manage&recurse=true Is this perhaps the nil value that puppet complains it can't call gsub on?
