I've tried to use Savoir to connect to the RPC client and try to make a simple getinfo call, but I keep getting a connection error with a bad status line. I've done some reading and I know this has something to do with the http call basically failing and not returning a response.
I haven't got a password set, and I can't see how to do this anywhere in the guides or Q&A, besides being told that I should put it in the multichain.conf file, but even when I do this the cal still fails. I've also tried using the python and cur examples here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_%28JSON-RPC%29#Command_line_.28cURL.29, but none of these work.
My code is:
from Savoir import Savoir
import requests
import json
rpcuser = 'manager'
rpcpasswd = 'pass'
rpchost = 'localhost'
rpcport = '6451'
chainname = 'intrdr_chain_1'
api = Savoir(rpcuser, rpcpasswd, rpchost, rpcport, chainname)
def create_transaction(rule):
api.getinfo()
print 'done'
print api.getinfo()
And I get the following traceback:
File "rpc_script.py", line 15, in create_transaction
api.getinfo()
File "/webapps/blocknet/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Savoir/Savoir.py", line 58, in __call__

r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs)

raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",))
Could it be possible my configuration settings are wrong? is it possible to not require the password, or is there another way to do this? I've basically resorted to making terminal calls from python as a subprocess which was the only way I could get it to work (which of course basically just circumvents the RPC alltogether).
