Issue with retrieving XML formatted data

[Brian-Cosgrove]

We have an ingest process whereby we retrieve xml-formatted USACE data for use with the NWM. We recently encountered an issue with this usual USACE cwms data download/ingest. A few days ago, we noticed that two tags disappeared from the incoming data files: <query-info> and <requested-item>.

We added (req = urllib.request.Request(request_str, headers={"accept": "application/xml;version=1"}) into the python download script but it creates empty xml files. Per our email exchange, Mike, I'm entering this as a new issue.

Thanks,
Brian

<query-info> is something that gets generated from the legacy pl/sql calls. CDA recently switched the default to not call into the legacy pl/sql so Mike's suggestion was correct and that should have gotten you back to the previous output. I'm curious about the empty xml files. The results are completely empty? Are you not getting the old <query-info> and <requested-item> tags? Or you are getting those but the rest of the results are empty?

Can you create a query similar to the one causing the bug against https://cwms-data-test.cwbi.us/cwms-data/ ?
