/services/publish/listofitems gets a 404, when trying to publish a list of items

[sgisbert]

Hi!

I'm using your great tool to try to automate Sitecore 7 & 8 deployments, and I'm having a strange issue at the latest step: publishing the installed items is returning a 404 error.
My whole stack is TeamCity + Courier + Ship 0.4.0 (I've cloned your source code).

I have the items package created with Sitecore Courier.
I've created a simple command line tool that has 2 tasks:

• Install the package to "/services/package/install/fileupload" and get the list of installed items.
• Create the Items-To-Publish list and post it to "/services/publish/listofitems".

First step works fine, and I get the list, but when I post to do the publishing, I'm getting a 404.

This is the source code to POST the publishing:

    private static void PublishItems(PublishItems items, string targetUrl)
    {
        try
        {
            // Create a request using a URL that can receive a post. 
            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(targetUrl + "/services/publish/listofitems");

            // Set the Method property of the request to POST.
            request.Method = "POST";
            // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
            string postData = items.ToJson();
            byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);

            // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
            request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            // Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
            request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
            // Get the request stream.
            Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
            // Write the data to the request stream.
            dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
            // Close the Stream object.
            dataStream.Close();
            // Get the response.
            WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
            // Display the status.
            Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
            // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
            dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
            // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
            // Read the content.
            string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
            // Display the content.
            Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
            // Clean up the streams.
            reader.Close();
            dataStream.Close();
            response.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        }
    }

This is a sample POST, as captured in Fiddler:

POST http://sitecore8target/services/publish/listofitems HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: sitecore8target
Content-Length: 366
Expect: 100-continue

{"Items":[{"itemId":"662a3670-2671-414c-97e5-f9b30473cdd7","PublishChildren":"false"},{"itemId":"a49599a5-1b25-4efe-82aa-fa1af0993919","PublishChildren":"false"},{"itemId":"377cb37e-2b00-417e-bbec-872b4ef9e9a0","PublishChildren":"false"},{"itemId":"9502a1e1-7bdd-4b3e-a234-a488ba871889","PublishChildren":"false"}],"TargetDatabases":["web"],"TargetLanguages":["en"]}

And the 404 error:

The Sitecore instance at "http://sitecore8target" has Ship 0.4.0 installed, and the Install package service works as expected.

Any ideas where to look at?
Many thanks in advance!

Tried also with curl with same results:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{"Items":[{"itemId":"662a3670-2671-414c-97e5-f9b30473cdd7","PublishChildren":"false
"},{"itemId":"a49599a5-1b25-4efe-82aa-fa1af0993919","PublishChildren":"false"},{"itemId":"377cb37e-2b00-417e-bbec-872b4ef9e9a0","PublishChildren":"false"},{"itemId":"9502a1e1-7bdd-4
b3e-a234-a488ba871889","PublishChildren":"false"}],"TargetDatabases":["web"],"TargetLanguages":["en"]}" http://sitecore8target/services/publish/listofitems --proxy 127.0.0.1:8888

@sgisbert Just looking at it now with POSTman and seem to be getting the same results as you.

I'll get back to you Sergi as quickly as possible.

[sgisbert]

Thanks Kevin. Awesome news. Looking forward to your results.

[kevinobee]

@sgisbert which NuGet package are you using for Ship?

[sgisbert]

Sitecore.Ship.AspNet.0.4.0.nupkg, the one generated with the build.

[kevinobee]

@sgisbert OK, so that it the HTTP handler version rather than the package based around NancyFx.

I'll focus on that codebase then.

Created a pull request with a potential fix: #46

I have the same issue, any news on a fix? /services/about reports: Sitecore.Ship - version 0.4.0.0 as my version.
