requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Expect type list about biothings_client.py

@medmaca This can be a temporary fix for now before we release a new version to resolve this issue:

pip install biothings_client==0.2.2

Also experiencing this issue (noticed it today).

@newgene can you comment more on the cause of the problem?

release a new version to resolve this issue

Another option might be reverting the change that caused the latest version of biothings-client (v0.2.3) to fail until a version of biothings-client is released without the issue?

The server update over the weekend addressed a few reliability issues along with formalizing the additional support for a few request content types. Previously, we did not differentiate the request content type of JSON, form-encoded, or URL parameters, thus having our client sending POST data in string serialized individual fields to represent lists. Now, that type of content needs to be sent via the form data type. Application/JSON body should use lists to represent lists, instead of a comma separated list. The update in our client updated the calling signature to match this change. It has been published now.

Thanks @namespacestd0 for the info. So this issue is fixed by aa9a9a4 and released in v0.2.4?

[namespacestd0]

Yes that's right.

[medmaca]

Thanks for turning this around so quickly. With v0.2.4 everything appears to working now.

For anyone looks for this issue to resolve this recent biothings_client error, please upgrade your local biothings_client:

pip install biothings_client -U

Thanks @medmaca and @dhimmel for your prompt reporting.

Just fyi, we have released another new version of biothings_client today: v0.2.5, which should handle similar issues which might happen on other query parameters.
