Invalid JSON being sent back

[chrisseto]

The JSON I'm referencing for this issue is located here
This is the data being returned at the time of this issue being created:

{"status":"OK","data":{"id":75394,"versionNumber":1,"versionMinorNumber":0,"versionState":"RELEASED","productionDate":"Production Date","lastUpdateTime":"2015-07-12T20:22:56Z","releaseTime":"2015-07-12T20:22:56Z","createTime":"2015-07-12T19:58:01Z","metadataBlocks":{"citation":{"displayName":"Citation Metadata","fields":[{"typeName":"title","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Replication Data for: Hajcak & Foti (2008, Psychological Science)"},{"typeName":"author","multiple":true,"typeClass":"compound","value":[{"authorName":{"typeName":"authorName","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Lewis, Melissa"},"authorAffiliation":{"typeName":"authorAffiliation","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Reed College"}},{"authorName":{"typeName":"authorName","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Pitts, Michael"},"authorAffiliation":{"typeName":"authorAffiliation","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Reed College"}}]},{"typeName":"datasetContact","multiple":true,"typeClass":"compound","value":[{"datasetContactName":{"typeName":"datasetContactName","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Lewis, Melissa"},"datasetContactAffiliation":{"typeName":"datasetContactAffiliation","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Center for Open Science"},"datasetContactEmail":{"typeName":"datasetContactEmail","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"meli.lewis@gmail.com"}}]},{"typeName":"dsDescription","multiple":true,"typeClass":"compound","value":[{"dsDescriptionValue":{"typeName":"dsDescriptionValue","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"This is a replication of Hajcak & Foti 2008 for the Center for Open Science's Reproducibility Project."}}]},{"typeName":"subject","multiple":true,"typeClass":"controlledVocabulary","value":["Other","Medicine, Health and Life Sciences","Social Sciences"]},{"typeName":"depositor","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"Lewis, Melissa"},{"typeName":"dateOfDeposit","multiple":false,"typeClass":"primitive","value":"2015-07-12"}]}},"files":[{"label":"p1.eeg","version":1,"datasetVersionId":75394,"datafile":{"id":2693204,"name":"p1.eeg","contentType":"application/octet-stream","filename":"14e83d592d5-7f8df9c99e08","originalFormatLabel":"UNKNOWN","md5":"93cde7ca2e92a1f0a71f63706852e78a"}}]}

When run through a JSON parser I get the error

Adding a single } at the end fixed all the parsing.

The content-length header for the response was 2337 but the actual length of the data sent back was 2336 indicating that the final } got lost somewhere.

Wow. Crazy. The weird thing is that is seems to happen about half the time on "kirk" ...

curl -s -k https://kirk.lts.harvard.edu/api/datasets/2693203/versions/:latest-published | jq .
parse error: Unfinished JSON term

... but never on "picard". I discussed with @landreev and he's going to see if restarting kirk helps.

[pdurbin]

Ok, after @landreev restarted "kirk" and now I can't reproduce the problem. Very strange to be losing bytes like that!

"kirk" and "picard" are configured the same way. Both are now fronted by Apache per #2180 for the record but I don't know if that's a factor or not.

Passing to QA. Thanks, @chrisseto!

@pdurbin, looks to be fixed, thanks for getting back so fast!
