Blockchain.info Bitcoin-Qt Compatible JSON RPC error

[murasha]

Sending a JSON request to rpc.blockchain.info:80 according to https://blockchain.info/api/json_rpc_api manual returns strange response:

Code:

{"result":{"method":{"static":false,"name":"backupwallet","class":"piuk.rpc.RPC","params":"piuk.merchant.ApiKey","returns":"void"}},"error":null,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

Actually I am making following request:

Code:

{"method":"getinfo","params":[],"id":1}

Any ideas what can cause this problem?

Blockchain.info's RPC API is completely unreliable. You should try port 443 though.

I figured out that request must have header content-type: text/plain to make blockchain response correctly
