CLI malformed rt response

RT Users
1

Whenever I try to use the bin/rt command line tool, it comes back with
“rt: Malformed RT response from http://localhost.”

I tried modifying the file share/html/REST/1.0/search/ticket as suggested in
http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/rt-users/2004-October/026706.html
but this didn’t help.

I’ve tried various commands like, rt ls “Priority > 5 and
Status=‘new’” and rt ls -t user 34 but the result is always the same.

The access_log shows:
localhost - - [16/Nov/2004:09:46:46 -0500] “POST /REST/1.0/search/user
HTTP/1.1” 200 4325

No errors in error_log.

The rt.log shows:
[Tue Nov 16 14:46:46 2004] [info]: Successful login for root from
127.0.0.1 (/usr/local/rt3/share/html/autohandler:182)

And the debug output:

rt ls -t user 34

Doh… got it.

Also, am I correct that bin/rt cannot do a date query? “Created < ‘2
days ago’” for instance?
