Description

.... after countless attempts and two tickets that you closed for me, I found the cause of the problem.
The tcp port of the webgui.
If I use the default it works correctly, if I use an alternative port (for example 8443) this warning appears.

Though you still did not provide enough information here, I managed to piece together enough from your rejected issues to figure out what you were talking about. In the future, you must include all details in the current issue.

With the information that the port was the problem I was able to spot a bug in the code which seems to be the culprit. The small change below should fix it for you.

It's too late to fix this for 2.5.0, but the next patch release we put out can include it.

Yes ! Now works without alert on an alternative GUI port.

Thanks !

It's fixed. The XMLRPC errors are no longer generated with GUI on alternative port. Marking the ticket resolved.
