still generates errors on random networks.

Hi John and Philip-
Gillian alerted me to your posts. This has been a long nagging problem that didn't present obvious solutions over the past couple of years. We have had little to not staff time that we have been able to place on this issue, either as we are deep in infrastructure development in our new center.
That being said, one of our staffers, Dan, took a crack at trying to find a pattern and look for a way to circumvent, if not solve. He got to the stage where we realized that there were not a specific set of distributed servers that were causing the problem, it could come from any of the systems, just at indeterminate times. Something with the fdsnws-station web service call causes it to go to a multipart content mode that inserts byte size values and seems to trigger gzip output. (thx. Tobias)
There is a client-based way that Dan suggested could get around the issue, and that is to have the client request to not receive gzipped returns. He describes it like so:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can explicitly say "don't send gzip" by adding q=0 like this:
Accept-Encoding:gzip;q=0
With the following in my Python code:
headers = {"Accept-Encoding":"gzip;q=0"} # asks server not to use gzip Transfer-Encoding
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
I get zero issues from station service.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, you can try this out and see whether you get improved results. In fact, it would be great to get outside evaulation of this. To be sustainable, though, we need a server-side solution, so Dan also suggested that there is a way to configure Tomcat to not opt for gzip output. This is something that we should be able to try out in beta and see if that doesn't break something else.
Regards,
-Rob

Hi, Rob!
I have a couple of questions here: Is the gzip problem and the malformed
XML problem the same issue? Or are we dealing with two different issues?
I'm using the obspy client, which handles the requesting in the background.
Is there a way to append headers to that client, or would I have to rewrite
my code to do that?
Thanks!

Hi John and Philip-
Gillian alerted me to your posts. This has been a long nagging
problem that didn't present obvious solutions over the past couple of
years. We have had little to not staff time that we have been able to
place on this issue, either as we are deep in infrastructure development in
our new center.
That being said, one of our staffers, Dan, took a crack at trying
to find a pattern and look for a way to circumvent, if not solve. He got
to the stage where we realized that there were not a specific set of
distributed servers that were causing the problem, it could come from any
of the systems, just at indeterminate times. Something with the
fdsnws-station web service call causes it to go to a multipart content mode
that inserts byte size values and seems to trigger gzip output. (thx.
Tobias)
There is a client-based way that Dan suggested could get around
the issue, and that is to have the client request to not receive gzipped
returns. He describes it like so:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can explicitly say "don't send gzip" by adding q=0 like this:
Accept-Encoding:gzip;q=0
With the following in my Python code:
headers = {"Accept-Encoding":"gzip;q=0"} # asks server not
to use gzip Transfer-Encoding
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
I get zero issues from station service.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, you can try this out and see whether you get improved
results. In fact, it would be great to get outside evaulation of this. To
be sustainable, though, we need a server-side solution, so Dan also
suggested that there is a way to configure Tomcat to not opt for gzip
output. This is something that we should be able to try out in beta and
see if that doesn't break something else.
Regards,
-Rob

yes, that's what I meant. My best guess was that the service discovery
was creating the issue, because it's the only time we do multiple
requests in parallel.
But yes, I can see that something also sometimes goes wrong in "normal"
requests after the client initialization. Seems like a server issue to
me but not 100% sure yet.
Can you maybe mention that github ticket I made on the ML
(
), my mails don't go through,
my old IRIS account has my old mail sender address and I made anew
makes
account on EarthScope but no luck with that either.

We might be dealing with two different issues, but perhaps we should solve one at a time.
I'm using the obspy client, which handles the requesting in the background. Is there a way to append headers to that client, or would I have to rewrite my code to do that?
Not speaking from experience, but I note that the Accept-encoding header addition is played out in obspy.clients.fdsn.client. I don't see a way to externally configure this, so to test this, you'd need to modify the code so that 'use_gzip' is set to false by default. If that isn't enough, then you'd want to assert "gzip;q=0" where the Accept-encoding header is written in that code.
Naturally, having the server on our end functioning suffiently well with gzip turned off would be preferable. I am just not sure yet what the side effects might be in making this change, including data transfer performance.

Thanks!

We might be dealing with two different issues, but perhaps we should solve
one at a time.
Well, OK, but the original issue was primarily about the XML problem. I

We might be dealing with two different issues, but perhaps we should solve
one at a time.
I'm using the obspy client, which handles the requesting in the
background. Is there a way to append headers to that client, or would I
have to rewrite my code to do that?
Not speaking from experience, but I note that the Accept-encoding header
addition is played out in obspy.clients.fdsn.client. I don't see a way to
externally configure this, so to test this, you'd need to modify the code
so that 'use_gzip' is set to false by default. If that isn't enough, then
you'd want to assert "gzip;q=0" where the Accept-encoding header is written
in that code.
Naturally, having the server on our end functioning suffiently well with
gzip turned off would be preferable. I am just not sure yet what the side
effects might be in making this change, including data transfer performance.

Hi John and Philip-
problem that didn't present obvious solutions over the past couple of
Gillian alerted me to your posts. This has been a long nagging
years. We have had little to not staff time that we have been able to
place on this issue, either as we are deep in infrastructure development in
our new center.
That being said, one of our staffers, Dan, took a crack at
trying to find a pattern and look for a way to circumvent, if not solve.
He got to the stage where we realized that there were not a specific set of
distributed servers that were causing the problem, it could come from any
of the systems, just at indeterminate times. Something with the
fdsnws-station web service call causes it to go to a multipart content mode
that inserts byte size values and seems to trigger gzip output. (thx.
Tobias)
There is a client-based way that Dan suggested could get around
the issue, and that is to have the client request to not receive gzipped
returns. He describes it like so:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
not to use gzip Transfer-Encoding
You can explicitly say "don't send gzip" by adding q=0 like this:
Accept-Encoding:gzip;q=0
With the following in my Python code:
headers = {"Accept-Encoding":"gzip;q=0"} # asks server
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
results. In fact, it would be great to get outside evaulation of this. To
I get zero issues from station service.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, you can try this out and see whether you get improved
be sustainable, though, we need a server-side solution, so Dan also
suggested that there is a way to configure Tomcat to not opt for gzip
output. This is something that we should be able to try out in beta and
see if that doesn't break something else.

Hi John,
yes, that's what I meant. My best guess was that the service discovery
was creating the issue, because it's the only time we do multiple
requests in parallel.
But yes, I can see that something also sometimes goes wrong in
requests after the client initialization. Seems like a server issue to
me but not 100% sure yet.
Can you maybe mention that github ticket I made on the ML

), my mails don't go through,
my old IRIS account has my old mail sender address and I made anew
account on EarthScope but no luck with that either.

Hi all
I just did some testing using my seisFile java library (so no obspy
dependency) and have gotten xml parse errors even with the http encoding
header set to be "identity" which I think turns off all compression. Output
xml for network 8A (I think) had the first line as "2000". All 98 previous
networks downloaded parsable stationxml for stations without error.
Rerunning, I hit the same thing, this time for network 2P, again with
"2000" as the first line. Running a third time, I got all the way to XA
before it crashed. See output below with http headers. All three failures
show that same first line of "2000" which seems really odd.
I think at least we can say this isn't an obspy issue.

That's very interesting, Philip.
It turns out that the problem only occurs randomly, so I can deal with it
in my code by implementing retry counters and just retry on failure. Maybe
not elegant, but it works.

I'll look into turning off gzip in the obspy client, thanks!

Not speaking from experience, but I note that the Accept-encoding header
addition is played out in obspy.clients.fdsn.client. I don't see a way to
externally configure this, so to test this, you'd need to modify the code
so that 'use_gzip' is set to false by default. If that isn't enough, then
you'd want to assert "gzip;q=0" where the Accept-encoding header is written
in that code.
Naturally, having the server on our end functioning suffiently well with
gzip turned off would be preferable. I am just not sure yet what the side

Hi John and Philip-
nagging problem that didn't present obvious solutions over the past couple
Gillian alerted me to your posts. This has been a long
of years. We have had little to not staff time that we have been able to
place on this issue, either as we are deep in infrastructure development in
our new center.
That being said, one of our staffers, Dan, took a crack at
trying to find a pattern and look for a way to circumvent, if not solve.
He got to the stage where we realized that there were not a specific set of
distributed servers that were causing the problem, it could come from any
of the systems, just at indeterminate times. Something with the
fdsnws-station web service call causes it to go to a multipart content mode
that inserts byte size values and seems to trigger gzip output. (thx.
Tobias)
There is a client-based way that Dan suggested could get
around the issue, and that is to have the client request to not receive
gzipped returns. He describes it like so:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can explicitly say "don't send gzip" by adding q=0 like
this:
Accept-Encoding:gzip;q=0
not to use gzip Transfer-Encoding
With the following in my Python code:
headers = {"Accept-Encoding":"gzip;q=0"} # asks server
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I get zero issues from station service.
So, you can try this out and see whether you get improved
results. In fact, it would be great to get outside evaulation of this. To
be sustainable, though, we need a server-side solution, so Dan also
suggested that there is a way to configure Tomcat to not opt for gzip
output. This is something that we should be able to try out in beta and
see if that doesn't break something else.

Hi John,
yes, that's what I meant. My best guess was that the service
was creating the issue, because it's the only time we do multiple
requests in parallel.
But yes, I can see that something also sometimes goes wrong in
requests after the client initialization. Seems like a server issue
me but not 100% sure yet.

Tobias on obspy ticket noted that it looks like the returned data is using
chunked transfer, but failing to set the
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
header. I believe the 2000 is the chunk size. See

Hi all
I just did some testing using my seisFile java library (so no obspy
dependency) and have gotten xml parse errors even with the http encoding
header set to be "identity" which I think turns off all compression. Output
xml for network 8A (I think) had the first line as "2000". All 98 previous
networks downloaded parsable stationxml for stations without error.
Rerunning, I hit the same thing, this time for network 2P, again with
"2000" as the first line. Running a third time, I got all the way to XA
before it crashed. See output below with http headers. All three failures
show that same first line of "2000" which seems really odd.
I think at least we can say this isn't an obspy issue.

Hi John and Philip-
nagging problem that didn't present obvious solutions over the past couple
Gillian alerted me to your posts. This has been a long

That being said, one of our staffers, Dan, took a crack at
trying to find a pattern and look for a way to circumvent, if not solve.
He got to the stage where we realized that there were not a specific set of
distributed servers that were causing the problem, it could come from any

fdsnws-station web service call causes it to go to a multipart content mode
