Delete Post on Facebook Ruby Curl:Easy - ruby

I am using curl easy library to make http delete requests to Facebook graph to delete a post.
Code snippet is below:
url = "https://graph.facebook.com/#{id}?access_token=#{token}"
curl = Curl::Easy.new(url)
result = nil
retries = 2
while (!result || curl.response_code != 200) && retries >= 0
result = curl.http_delete
retries -= 1
end
return result
Facebook returns "not valid request" each time. I have verified access_token in facebook debugger.
What am i missing here? Can someone please help?

You should add /post to your url as per the reference:
url = "https://graph.facebook.com/post/#{id}?access_token=#{token}"

Ruby Post returns 404 URL Not found while curl works fine

I'm trying to write some Ruby code to update GitLab CI/CD variables using the REST endpoint update variable. When I perform a curl with the same path, the same private token, and the same --form data it updates the variable as expected. When I use the Ruby code that I put together based on reading stackoverflow and the net::http docs, it fails with a 404 URL not found.
I can use a similar piece of code to create a new CI/CD variable successfully. I can also delete an existing variable, and re-create it, but it I would like to know the mistake I am making in the update call.
Can someone point out what I did wrong?
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
token = File.read(__dir__ + '/.gitlab-token').chomp
host = 'https://gitlab.com/'
variables_path = 'api/v4/projects/123456/variables'
env_var = 'MY_VAR'
update_uri = URI(host + variables_path + '/' + env_var)
# I've written the above this way because my actual code
# has a delete and create in order to "update" the variable
response = Net::HTTP.start(update_uri.host, update_uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
update_request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(update_uri)
update_request['PRIVATE-TOKEN'] = token
form_data = [
['value', 'a new value']
]
update_request.set_form(form_data, 'multipart/form-data')
response = http.request(update_request)
response.body
end

How to find Knowledge base ID (kbid) for QnAMaker?

I am trying to integrate QnAmaker knowledge base with Azure Bot Service.
I am unable to find knowledge base id on QnAMaker portal.
How to find the kbid in QnAPortal?
The Knowledge Base Id can be located in Settings under “Deployment details” in your knowledge base. It is the guid that is nestled between “knowledgebases” and “generateAnswer” in the POST (see image below).
Hope of help!
Hey you can also use python to get this by take a look at the following code.
That is if you wanted to write a program to dynamically get the kb ids.
import http.client, os, urllib.parse, json, time, sys
# Represents the various elements used to create HTTP request path for QnA Maker
operations.
# Replace this with a valid subscription key.
# User host = '<your-resource-name>.cognitiveservices.azure.com'
host = '<your-resource-name>.cognitiveservices.azure.com'
subscription_key = '<QnA-Key>'
get_kb_method = '/qnamaker/v4.0/knowledgebases/'
try:
headers = {
'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key': subscription_key,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection(host)
conn.request ("GET", get_kb_method, None, headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
data = response.read().decode("UTF-8")
result = None
if len(data) > 0:
result = json.loads(data)
print
#print(json.dumps(result, sort_keys=True, indent=2))
# Note status code 204 means success.
KB_id = result["knowledgebases"][0]["id"]
print(response.status)
print(KB_id)
except :
print ("Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0])
print ("Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[1])

Classic ASP XMLHttp Send very slow

I've inherited a classic asp project and as part of the upgrade process we're moving a lot of the business logic to a REST API (WebApi 2.2)
The authorization endpoint for the api is written, and the asp site can call it, but it's very slow compared with calling directly via Postman.
(I'm a C# coder not a VBScript one so the below code may be offensive)
Asp Code:
' Send a prebuilt HTTP request and handle the response
' Returns true if the request returns a 200 response, False otherwise
' Response body is placed in Response
' ErrorMessage is set to return status text if an error code is returned
Function HandleRequest(ByRef objRequest, strBody)
set profiler = Server.CreateObject("Softwing.Profiler")
HandleRequest = False
' Add auth token if we have it
If Not m_accessToken&"" = "" Then
objRequest.SetRequestHeader "Authorization", "Bearer " & m_accessToken
End If
' Originating IP for proxy forwarding
If Not m_clientIp&"" = "" Then
objRequest.SetRequestHeader "X-Forwarded-For", m_clientIp
End If
On Error Resume Next
If (strBody&"" = "") Then
objRequest.Send()
Else
profiler.ProfileStart()
objRequest.Send(strBody)
flSendRequest = profiler.ProfileStop()
End If
If Err.Number = 0 Then
Dim jsonResponse
If (objRequest.ResponseText&"" <> "") Then
profiler.ProfileStart()
set jsonResponse = JSON.parse(objRequest.ResponseText)
flJson = profiler.ProfileStop()
set m_Response = jsonResponse
End If
If objRequest.Status = 200 Then
HandleRequest = True
m_errorMessage = ""
Else
m_errorMessage = objRequest.statusText
End If
Else
m_errorMessage = "Unable to connect to Api server"
End If
On Error GoTo 0
End Function
You can see there's some profiling code in there.
The following post request takes 392ms
POST localhost:5000/oauth/token
Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
client_id:ABCDEF0-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCDEF-ABCDEF01234
client_secret:aBcDeF0123456789aBcDeF0123456789=
username:demo
password:demo
grant_type:password
If I issue the same request direct to the Api via Postman it takes 30ms.
That's more than 13x slower.
What gives?
Edit
Raw result from Softwing Profiler:
flJson 10.9583865754112
flSendRequest 392.282022557137
So after a lengthy-ish discussion with the #J-Tolley it looks as though the issue is with the Softwing.Profiler documentation which states;
all results are given in milliseconds
even though earlier in the page it states;
has a ten milliseconds resolution
Have not used the Softwing.Profiler component alone before and would recommend anyone using in a Classic ASP environment to implement it using the SlTiming class library provided by 4GuysFromRolla.
In that article it even warns anyone using the Softwing.Profiler ProfileStop() method to;
Be aware that Softwing.Profiler's ProfileStop method returns a value in ticks (tenths of milliseconds).

Reading Withings API ruby

I have been trying for days to pull down activity data from the Withings API using the OAuth Ruby gem. Regardless of what method I try I consistently get back a 503 error response (not enough params) even though I copied the example URI from the documentation, having of course swapped out the userid. Has anybody had any luck with this in the past. I hope it is just something stupid I am doing.
class Withings
API_KEY = 'REMOVED'
API_SECRET = 'REMOVED'
CONFIGURATION = { site: 'https://oauth.withings.com', request_token_path: '/account/request_token',
access_token_path: '/account/access_token', authorize_path: '/account/authorize' }
before do
#consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new API_KEY, API_SECRET, CONFIGURATION
#base_url ||= "#{request.env['rack.url_scheme']}://#{request.env['HTTP_HOST']}#{request.env['SCRIPT_NAME']}"
end
get '/' do
#request_token = #consumer.get_request_token oauth_callback: "#{#base_url}/access_token"
session[:token] = #request_token.token
session[:secret] = #request_token.secret
redirect #request_token.authorize_url
end
get '/access_token' do
#request_token = OAuth::RequestToken.new #consumer, session[:token], session[:secret]
#access_token = #request_token.get_access_token oauth_verifier: params[:oauth_verifier]
session[:token] = #access_token.token
session[:secret] = #access_token.secret
session[:userid] = params[:userid]
redirect "#{#base_url}/activity"
end
get '/activity' do
#access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new #consumer, session[:token], session[:secret]
response = #access_token.get("http://wbsapi.withings.net/v2/measure?action=getactivity&userid=#{session[:userid]}&startdateymd=2014-01-01&enddateymd=2014-05-09")
JSON.parse(response.body)
end
end
For other API endpoints I get an error response of 247 - The userid provided is absent, or incorrect. This is really frustrating. Thanks
So I figured out the answer after copious amount of Googleing and grasping a better understanding of both the Withings API and the OAuth library I was using. Basically Withings uses query strings to pass in API parameters. I though I was going about passing these parameters correctly when I was making API calls, but apparently I needed to explicitly set the OAuth library to use the query string scheme, like so
http_method: :get, scheme: :query_string
This is appended to my OAuth consumer configuration and all worked fine immediately.

How to parse HTTP response using Ruby

I've written a short snippet which sends a GET request, performs auth and checks if there is a 200 OK response (when auth success). Now, one thing I saw with this specific GET request, is that the response is always 200 irrespective of whether auth success or not.
The diff is in the HTTP response. That is when auth fails, the first response is 200 OK, just the same as when auth success, and after this then there is a second step. The page gets redirected again to the login page.
I am just trying to make a quick script which can check my login user and pass on my web application and tell me which auth passed and which didn't.
How should I check this? The sample code is like this:
def funcA(u, p)
print_A("#{ip} - '#{u}' : '#{p}' - Pass")
end
def try_login(u, p)
path = '/index.php?uuser=#{u}&ppass=#{p}'
r = send_request_raw({
'URI' => 'path',
'method' => 'GET'
})
if (r and r.code.to_i == 200)
check = true
end
if check == true
funcA(u, p)
else
out = "#{ip} - '#{u} - Fail"
print_B(out)
end
return check, r
end
end
Update:
I also tried adding a new check for matching a 'Success/Fail' keyword coming in HTTP response. It didn't work either. But I now noticed that the response coming back seems to be in a different form. The Content-Type in response is text/html;charset=utf-8 though. And I am not doing any parsing so it is failing.
Success Response is in form of:
{"param1":1,"param2"="Auth Success","menu":0,"userdesc":"My User","user":"uuser","pass":"ppass","check":"success"}
Fail response is in form of:
{"param1":-1,"param2"="Auth Fail","check":"fail"}
So now I need some pointers on how to parse this response.
Many Thanks.
I do this with with "net/http"
require 'net/http'
uri = URI(url)
connection = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port)
#response = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI(url))
#httpStatusCode = #response.code
connection.finish
If there's a redirect from a 200 then it must be a javascript or meta redirect. So just look for that in the response body.
