Quiet mode is ignored when (un)subcrubing from SOAP server

[ynerant]

I use the SOAP server to automate some registrations from my website.
Creating a list goes successfully, and I can subscribe or unsubscribe members.
However, the notifications that the user joined the list or got unsubscribed are not sent, as if quiet mode was enabled, even if this is not the case.
All is working well through the web server.

Version

6.2.40

Installation method

Debian package, from APT, with the SOAP server enabled

Expected behavior

When registering someone to a list without the quiet mode through the SOAP server, a notification should be sent.

Actual behavior

No mail is sent.

Additional information

Syslog indicates that the quiet mode is well received by the server: (I anonymized my personal data)

Hi @galaxyoyo ,

I guess quiet parameter should be given as 1 or 0, instead of true or false.

[ynerant]

I tried to send "true", "false", true, false, 0, 1, "0", "1" but all is interpreted as a boolean, according to the logs

[ikedas]

Could you please show the logs?

[ikedas]

I checked with sympa_soap_client.pl.

• Sympa 6.2.56 (RPM)
• SOAP-Lite 1.10

As following results, 0, 1, false and true were deserialized to 0, 1, 0 and 1 respectively. However no and yes failed deserializing and both were treated as true values.

I guess your client-side software doesn't serialize parameters correctly.

[ikedas]

@ynerant , is there anything new?

[ikedas]

No more information. Close.

[qulien]

@ynerant I know this is already old, but seeing how you managed to do a quiet unsubscribe via SOAP, could you share how you did it? I can't seem to get it to work. Specifically:

• What permissions did you have to set in trusted_applications.conf
• What does your SOAP command look like?
