I'm not using Web Help desk, but the API is the API.

Just tried the compexport_xml.py from the SDK. Seems to work as expected on my JSS (9.72) using the system Python 2.7.6 on 10.10.3.

Did you change anything with your certificates to patch SSL?
Are you forcing SSLv3 in your version of the export script for some reason?

Nothing I know of changed, but looks like we found a work around with this xml:

#for Python 3.4 - Need to run this command to install requests library to python: pip install requests

import requests

import warnings

import time



warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')

print ("PPS XML Mobile Exporter for Casper Start")

#Open URL 

#Using the URL, UserName, Password, and turning off the certificate verification since the certificate is self signed

#always test url with browser first.

url = "https://casper:8443/JSSResource/mobiledevices"

r = requests.get(url, auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),verify=False)

xml = r.content.decode(encoding='UTF-8')

#Open URL



#File

#Creates a connection to an output file and write out the XML data and close the file

file = open("mobile1.xml", 'w')

file.write(xml)

file.close()

#File



#Over Write File

#This needs to be done, so we have a new blank file, since the file is appended with every run through the loop

file = open("mobile2.xml", 'w')     

xml = ""

file.write(xml)

file.close()

#Over Write File



#Mobile 2 - A more detail report loop, to get more detail on each mobile device, as a short cut I loop through more times then we

#have mobile devices, since I only write a line out if the data is xml, if the id is not valid, an html file is returned and is ignored.

for count in range(1,20000):

    x = str(count)

    url = "https://casper:8443/JSSResource/mobiledevices/id/" + x + "/subset/General%26Location%26Purchasing"

    r = requests.get(url, auth=('USERNAME', 'PASSWORD'),verify=False)   

    xml = r.content.decode(encoding='UTF-8')

    xml = xml + "

"

    if xml[:5] == "<?xml":

        file = open("mobile2.xml", 'a')

        file.write(xml)

        #time.sleep(10)

        file.close()

#Mobile 2 - More detail report

print ("PPS XML Mobile Exporter for Casper Finished")

Glad to hear! I've been a big fan of the requests library as of late.
