Problem with Interface RESTful when trying to obtain "flow table" on a switch

[sbotkine]

Hello,

Sometimes when I try to execute the following curl on the controler to obtain flow table of a swith:

curl --noproxy 130.223.16.128 --header 'X-Auth-Token: a33de0c8553448aaaeec77d1d7934f6b' --fail -ksSfL --request GET --url https://130.223.16.128:8443/sdn/v2.0/of/datapaths/00:14:f0:92:1c:21:fa:c0/flows
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error

I have the previous error.

Sometimes it works.

If I look for the log.log file, it have the following entry:

Hello sbotkine,

Thanks for your query.
We are working on your problem.
Meanwhile we would like to know  if you get the same error when you try REST API to see the flows.
Please try REST API Datapaths/{dpid}/flows [from HP VAN SDN Controller REST API doc- page 60] and let us know if you still face
the same error.
 
Thanks,
HP SDN Team
