Pb with send-http module (solved)

installed : Duplicati - 2.0.8.1_beta_2024-05-07 on the date of release.

Error msg:
Warning while running xxxxx
2024-05-16 13:10:35 +02 - [Warning-Duplicati.Library.Modules.Builtin.ReportHelper-ReportSubmitError]: Échec de l’envoi du message: System.ArgumentException: Illegales Zeichen im Pfad. ArgumentException: Illegales Zeichen im Pfad.

That is: Illegal characters in path.
Note that only the reporting to duplicati-monitoring.com failed, not the backup itself.
All send-http parameters were unchanged with respect to previous Duplicati release.

Only one backup reporting has this issue → look for differences in send-http params.
Change send-http-url → bug remains.

Eventually I reverted send-http-message to default by clicking the cross in the “Options” and the problem was gone. I did not take note of what it was when the bug happened.

Hope this can help someone.

That sounds a lot like this error:

github.com/duplicati/duplicati

can http report send supports POST with message in the body?

- [X] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates. - [X] I have searc…hed the [forum](https://forum.duplicati.com) for related topics. ---------------------------------------- ## Environment info - **Duplicati version**: Duplicati - 2.0.7.1_beta_2023-05-25 - **Operating system**: Windows Server - **Backend**: local ## Description Wanted to setup http send report. The url is http(s) URL and using POST method. The message needs to be send in POST body. The sent http function was triggered but return warning that there is illegal path character. It seems like the message is sent thru URL parameter instead of post body. I cannot find option to set the message into POST body. Not sure if this is supported. ## Steps to reproduce 1. Set "send-http-url" to "https://api.domain.com/network" 2. Set "send-http-message" to "{"DisplayName":"Duplicati Backup Monitor", "Subject":"Duplicati %OPERATIONNAME% report for %backup-name%","Body":"%backup-name%"}" 3. Trigger backup and wait for completion 4. Backup successful but return warning on illegal path detected error. - **Actual result**: Backup successful but return warning on illegal path detected error - **Expected result**: Backup successful and https post request sent with the message in post body ## Debug log ``` Failed to send message: System.ArgumentException: 路径中具有非法字符。 {"ClassName":"System.ArgumentException","Message":"路径中具有非法字符。","Data":null,"InnerException":null,"HelpURL":null,"StackTraceString":" 在 System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path, Boolean checkAdditional)\r\n 在 System.IO.Path.IsPathRooted(String path)\r\n 在 Duplicati.Library.Modules.Builtin.ReportHelper.OnFinish(Object result)","RemoteStackTraceString":null,"RemoteStackIndex":0,"ExceptionMethod":"8\nCheckInvalidPathChars\nmscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089\nSystem.IO.Path\nVoid CheckInvalidPathChars(System.String, Boolean)","HResult":-2147024809,"Source":"mscorlib","WatsonBuckets":null,"ParamName":null} ``` Due to the system was setup by Asia region IT support, the error is in chinese characters. The translation of it using google translate is "Illegal characters in path"

It happens when supplying a value for --send-http-message.
This can either be a template string or a template file.
If it is a template string, the checker will fail when trying to determine if it is actually a file path.

Right. It is the same bug. I wonder a bit why it was not a bug in the previous Duplicati release though, but you can fix it easily so let’s leave with it.
