iControlUnexpectedHTTPError: 400 Unexpected Error: Bad Request for uri
I am working on automating SSL creation workflows with the python f5-sdk / iControl. I had the following set of code that was working last week, and as far as I know nothing changed since I'm the only one working on the big-ip. I've scoured the logs and support.f5.com but I can't find any further information about the error presented.
I am using the f5-sdk with the following code:
##This section of code works
mr.shared.file_transfer.uploads.upload_stringio(io.StringIO(request_obj['pkey']), '{0}.key'.format(domain))
mr.shared.file_transfer.uploads.upload_stringio(io.StringIO(request_obj['cert']), '{0}.crt'.format(domain))
I can then login to the Big-IP and `run /util bash`
>cd /var/config/rest/downloads
>ls
domain.example.com.crt domain.example.com.key tmp
However when I get to creating the certificate:
mr.tm.sys.file.ssl_certs.ssl_cert.create(name = "domain.example.com.crt", sourcePath="file:/var/config/rest/downloads/domain.example.com.crt")
This line in particular - I am presented with the attached StackTrace.

All of this code worked last week without issue. Any idea how to begin troubleshooting this error?
Hi Will,
Is there a previously installed certificate with name <domain.example.com.crt>?
I think, if you using same name, you may encounter this error.

Unfortunately, I am getting this error even when creating new certificates. However using the same file with tmsh I can run the command and it works:
create sys file ssl-key /Common/domain.example.com.key { source-path file:/var/config/rest/downloads/domain.example.com.key }
I wonder if I can clear the icrd cache.
I tried restarting the whole big-ip, to no avail.

Hey , I am also facing the same issue. Can you share how were you able to solve the issue?

Thought I would come back and it appears that many of my iControl issues have disappeared since upgrading to 13.1.3.1 0.0.4
