trackback problems

Description

howdy.

trackbacks don't seem to be working for us.

when we send a trackback, we get a whole lot of errors in the plosone log like: 

2007-08-24 18:03:33,262 WARN  UnhandledException(PLoSONE)> org.plos.article.util.NoSuchArticleIdException: (id = 'info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone')(representation=XML) [TP-Processor5 org.plos.UnhandledException]

followed by: 

2007-08-24 18:03:36,460 DEBUG TrackbackAction(PLoSONE)> No previous trackback found for: http://trackback-dev.plos.org/?q=node/10 [TP-Processor3 org.plos.action.TrackbackAction]
2007-08-24 18:03:36,866 DEBUG TrackbackAction(PLoSONE)> Trackback failed verification: http://trackback-dev.plos.org/?q=node/10 [TP-Processor3 org.plos.action.TrackbackAction

is there any way we can get some more info about what the verification is looking for, and why it's failing?

note, the correct trackback URL is being called according to httpd logs: 

10.135.0.104 - - [24/Aug/2007:18:00:06 -0700] "POST /article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0000263/trackback;jsessionid=8581630E102BD2C9FEAF15AD6256514C HTTP/1.0" 200 124

and i can see the plosone server grabbing the blog entry (192.168.1.12 is the plosone server 

192.168.1.12 - - [24/Aug/2007:18:16:33 -0700] "GET /?q=node/12 HTTP/1.1" 200 4897
10.135.0.104 - - [24/Aug/2007:18:16:33 -0700] "POST /article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0000263/trackback;jsessionid=8AC96A147BF48F6DC8ECA07C5047B7BF HTTP/1.0" 200 124
10.135.4.28 - - [24/Aug/2007:18:16:27 -0700] "POST /?q=node/add/blog HTTP/1.1" 302 -

and i confirm that the blog entry contains the correct URL: 

<p><a href="http://plosone-dev.plos.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0000263" title="http://plosone-dev.plos.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0000263">http://plosone-dev.plos.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone....</a></p>

finally, i was worried that maybe the problem was that my blog was sending the trackback at the same time as the entry was posted (even though i can see plosone getting a nice 200 return code when i tries to verify)

so i reconfigured by blog to send trackbacks later. i posted a new blog entry, then sent the trackback, and we still got verification failed.

my remaining suspicions

  • the blog software truncates long urls. perhaps your verification is only looking at text and not at the href attribute which does contain the full URL? i note that the validator plugin you modeled this on looks at hrefs and not just text
  • something's wrong with having escaped characters in the URL? (i tried posting both ways though and i got the same results)

08/24/07 21:56:54 changed by stevec

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

(In [3574]) fixes #613 At least it should. Can't tell for sure till it is tested with the blog software plos is testing with. But this works with MovableType?.

2007-08-28 15:15:25,619 ERROR UnhandledException(PLoSONE)> org.plos.article.util.NoSuchArticleIdException: (id = 'info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone')(representation=XML) [TP-Processor3 org.plos.UnhandledException]
