TypeError：期望一个可读的缓冲区对象

Question

I am running into the following error when I try to connect to an API using M2Crypto HTTPSConnection library using the GET method.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "osg-gridadmin-cert-request", line 665, in <module>
    status = check_quota_limit(request_count)
  File "osg-gridadmin-cert-request", line 543, in check_quota_limit
    conn.request('GET', arguments['quotaurl'], headers)

    return m2.ssl_write_nbio(self.ssl, data)
TypeError: expected a readable buffer object

I am accessing the API using this code

conn = M2Crypto.httpslib.HTTPSConnection(arguments['host'],
            ssl_context=ssl_context)
        conn.request('GET', arguments['quotaurl'], headers)
        response = conn.getresponse()

Could you please help me with this problem?

Answer 1

See the error message

self._send_request(method, url, body, headers)

This indicates that you are passing "headers" where you are supposed to pass "body".

So, try calling

conn.request('GET', arguments['quotaurl'], None, headers)
