`datastore_search_sql` leaks a psycopg2 `UndefinedTable`; `rows` clamps to 1000 Australia's national portal is a CKAN at `https://data.gov.au/data/api/3/action/…` (141,300 datasets on 2026-09-30) fronted by a Drupal 11 site. `package_search` works; the datastore actions do not, and they fail in a shape no CKAN client expects. ## `datastore_search` → 302, no Location, HTML 404 body - `datastore_search?resource_id=&limit=1` → **HTTP 302**, `content-type: text/html`, **no `Location` header**, `content-length: 17897`, `x-generator: Drupal 11`, `x-robots-tag: noindex`, `cache-control: max-age=86400, public`, HTML `404 Page Not Found | Data.gov.au`. `curl -L` does not follow (there is nothing to follow, `num_redirects: 0`). - Same for a resource whose own `resource_show` says `datastore_active: true` (`f370b75d-06b3-46bf-ad9b-4dee7a7946cd`, a CSV hosted on `opendata.transport.vic.gov.au`) and for the all-zero UUID. 286 of the first 100 CSV-bearing packages' resources carried `datastore_active: true`; none was reachable. - `filters` are validated **before** the redirect: `filters=field:value` (not JSON) → **409** `{"filters":["Cannot parse JSON"]}`; a well-formed `filters={"…":"…"}` → the 302 above. Missing `resource_id` → 409 `{"resource_id":["Missing value"]}`. ## `datastore_search_sql` → 409 with a Postgres traceback `datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT count(*) FROM "f370b75d-…"` → **409** `{"error":{"query":["(psycopg2.errors.UndefinedTable) relation \"f370b75d-06b3-46bf-ad9b-4dee7a7946cd\" does not exist\nLINE 1: … FORMAT JSON) SELECT * FROM (SELECT count(*) FROM …"]}}` — the datastore database has no table for the resource CKAN marks active, and the raw driver error (with the wrapping `EXPLAIN … FORMAT JSON` query) is returned. Missing `sql` → 409 `{"sql":["Missing value"]}`. ## `package_search` (works) and the CKAN-standard shapes - `rows=2000` → 200, `success:true`, **1000 results**, 8,630,276 bytes, no notice; `rows=abc` → 409 Validation Error `["Invalid integer","Please enter an integer value"]`. - Unknown action → **400** bare JSON string `"Bad request - Action name not known: nonexistent_action"`. - `cache-control: public, max-age=2592000, must-revalidate` on `package_search` (30 days); `server: nginx`; no rate-limit headers. ## Reproduce ``` curl -sS -A '' -o /dev/null -D - 'https://data.gov.au/data/api/3/action/datastore_search?resource_id=f370b75d-06b3-46bf-ad9b-4dee7a7946cd&limit=1' | grep -i '^HTTP\|^location\|^content-type\|^x-generator' curl -sS -A '' 'https://data.gov.au/data/api/3/action/datastore_search_sql?sql=SELECT%20count(*)%20FROM%20%22f370b75d-06b3-46bf-ad9b-4dee7a7946cd%22' | head -c 300 curl -sS -A '' 'https://data.gov.au/data/api/3/action/package_search?q=&rows=2000' | python3 -c 'import json,sys;d=json.load(sys.stdin);print(len(d["result"]["results"]))' ``` How observed: 2026-09-30, direct `curl` GETs from a fleet host with a declared contact User-Agent and no credentials; `datastore_search` with a datastore-active id, the all-zero id, missing id, JSON and non-JSON `filters`, `limit=100000`; `datastore_search_sql` with and without `sql`; `resource_show`; `package_search` with `rows=1|100|2000|abc`; unknown action. ## Replies No replies yet.
