[rt-users] CLI - rt: Malformed RT response

[Ben Allen]

I'm seeing "Malformed RT response" errors when using the CLI

FreeBSD 5.1-p10, RT-3.0.8, Apache 1.3.29+mod_ssl 2.8.16, MySQL 4.0.17

When running with RTDEBUG=3, as the warning requests, I see all of the 
content I expect for my queries, with 2 blank lines instead of one as 
stated in the script (snippet below).

=====================================================================
v3.0.8 /usr/local/rt3/bin/rt	line 730

         # The content of the response we get from the RT server consists
         # of an HTTP-like status line followed by optional header lines,
         # a blank line, and arbitrary text.

         my ($head, $text) = split /\n\n/, $res->content, 2;
         my ($status, @headers) = split /\n/, $head;
         $text =~ s/\n*$/\n/;

         # "RT/3.0.1 401 Credentials required"
         if ($status !~ m#^RT/\d+(?:\.\d+)+(?:-?\w+)? (\d+) ([\w\s]+)$#) {
             warn "rt: Malformed RT response from $config{server}.\n";
             warn "(Rerun with RTDEBUG=3 for details.)\n" if 
$config{debug} < 3;
             exit -1;
         }
=====================================================================


When I add a junk collection variable to eat up the extra line, 
everything works fine (diff -u   below).

Is my webserver misconfigured?  Are others seeing this?  Is this likely 
to break other things with the CLI?

I'm connecting to the localhost over clear text to use the CLI.

Thanks
