Title Body

I am creating a script which need to parse the yaml output that the puppet outputs. When I does a request agains example https://puppet:8140/production/catalog/my.testserver.no I will get some yaml back that looks something like: --- &id001 !ruby/object:Puppet::Resource::Catalog aliases: {} applying: false classes: - s_baseconfig ... edges: - &id111 !ruby/object:Puppet::Relationship source: &id047 !ruby/object:Puppet::Resource catalog: *id001 exported: and so on... The problem is when I do an yaml.load(yamlstream), I will get an error like: yaml.constructor.ConstructorError: could not determine a constructor for the tag '!ruby/object:Puppet::Resource::Catalog' in "<string>", line 1, column 5: --- &id001 !ruby/object:Puppet::Reso ... ^ As far as I know, this &id001 part is supported in yaml. Is there any way around this? Can I tell the yaml parser to ignore them? I only need a couple of lines from the yaml stream, maybe regex is my friend here? Anyone done any yaml cleanup regexes before? You can get the yaml output with curl like: curl --cert /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/$(hostname).pem --key /var/lib/puppet/ssl/private_keys/$(hostname).pem --cacert /var/lib/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem -H 'Accept: yaml' https://puppet:8140/production/catalog/$(hostname) I also found some info about this in the puppet mailinglist @ http://www.mail-archive.com/puppet-users@googlegroups.com/msg24143.html . But I cant get it to work correctly...
