OK, you've already fixed it in on the 1.1 branch. Please don't forget to merge the fix for the 1.2 release. Thankx.

The related changesets list this being fixed in both branches. Please confirm that it still does not work for you.

I have shortly reviewed the lastest versions of api/soap/mc_issue_attachment_api.php in the "master-1.2.x" and "master" development branches. Visually the error is still there.

I have manually tested this issue using SOAP UI.

The request-reponse cycle for mc_issue_attachment_get is:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:man="http://futureware.biz/mantisconnect">

<soapenv:Header/>

<soapenv:Body>

<man:mc_issue_attachment_get soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

<username xsi:type="xsd:string">administrator</username>

<password xsi:type="xsd:string">root</password>

<issue_attachment_id xsi:type="xsd:integer">9</issue_attachment_id>

</man:mc_issue_attachment_get>

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<ns1:mc_issue_attachment_getResponse xmlns:ns1="http://futureware.biz/mantisconnect">

<return xsi:type="xsd:base64Binary">c2FtcGxlIGNvbnRlbnRz</return>

</ns1:mc_issue_attachment_getResponse>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Please note the contents - it is base64 encoded. Furthermore, all execution paths of mci_file_get return base64-encoded content.

I did observe that the PHP soap extension on the client side already decodes the base64 contents. I suppose that's a feature, and as long as plain XML requests do the right thing there is nothing to fix.

Please reopen if you think this is not correct.

I've committed a fix in the soap-attachments branch ( commit at http://git.mantisbt.org/?p=mantisbt.git;a=commit;h=b836b267cfc77aa516968fe05d1804743df133d7 ). Please verify that it does solve the problem you've reported.
