Cursor disconnect RemoteSolrException Unable to parse 'cursorMark' after totem: value must either be '*' or the 'nextCursorMark' returned by a previous search

[WolfgangFahl]

427 already points to an issue with cursors. With my script:

`#

download from crossref RESTful API via cursor

# downloadWithCursor() { local l_rows="$1" local l_index="$2" local l_cursor="$3" target=$sampledir/crossref-$l_index.json src="https://api.crossref.org/types/proceedings/works?select=event,title,DOI&rows=$l_rows&cursor=$l_cursor" download $src $target }

#

get Crossref data

see also https://github.com/TIBHannover/confIDent-dataScraping

# getCrossRef() { rows=1000 index=1 totalRows=0

force while entry

total=$rows downloadWithCursor $rows $index "*" while [ $totalRows -lt $total ] do target=$sampledir/crossref-$index.json status=$(jq '.status' $target | tr -d '"') total=$(jq '.message["total-results"]' $target)

get and remove quotes from cursor

cursor=$(jq '.message["next-cursor"]' $target | tr -d '"')
startindex=$(jq '.message.query["start-index"]' $target)
perpage=$(jq '.message["items-per-page"]' $target)
index=$[$index+1]
if [ "$status" == "ok" ]
then
  totalRows=$[$totalRows+$rows]
else
  # force while exit
  totalRows=1
  total=0
  # remove invalid
  mv $target $target.err
fi
echo "status: $status index: $index $totalRows of $total startindex: $startindex perpage=$perpage cursor:$cursor"
if [ $totalRows -lt $total ]
then
  # wait a bit
  sleep 2
  downloadWithCursor $rows $index "$cursor"
fi

done cat $sampledir/crossref-*.json | jq .message.items[].title | cut -f2 -d'[' | cut -f2 -d'"' | grep -v "]" | tr -s '\n' > $sampledir/proceedings-crossref.txt } ` I run into a similar issue:

so i suspect the space in the token is the issue.

Please update the documentation of what kind of encoding you expect or better fix the upstream library to use tokens that need no encoding (do not use spaces). Also improving the error message and point to the FAQ would be helpful.

To close this issue please let me know whether my space assumption is right and replacing space with "+" will fix the problem.

cursor=$(jq '.message["next-cursor"]' $target | tr -d '"' | python -c "import urllib.parse;print (urllib.parse.quote(input()))"
