Invoke-WebRequest - Authorization has been denied for this request

I'm trying to access API using Powershell Invoke-WebRequest, response of it is always "Authorization has been denied for this request" . however i fetched Access_token and punched into Postman and it works fine ,I am getting 200 response . So trying to figure out where i am going wrong within powershell.
My code Below
$loginInfo = #{
Username = $configData.UN
Password = $configData.PS
}
$loginInfo = $loginInfo | convertTo-Json -Depth 12
$authResult = Invoke-RestMethod $url -Method POST -ContentType "application/json" -Body $loginInfo
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization", 'Bearer '+ $authResult.access_token)
Invoke-WebRequest -Method Get -Uri $url -Headers $headers
I figured it out, for some reason URL is case sensitive, i changed one of the URI segment from Uppercase to Lowercase and it started working. Strange but yes issue is fixed.

Manupulate Error file_get_contents

I have a script
$data = file_get_contents('http://my_example_link/data.xml');
and if http://my_example_link/data.xml is showing error
Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
I would like to create condition if the link is showing error above I will showing alert notification using bootstrap panel.
can I doing like that ?
You can do it with curl, Please refer curl_getinfo
<?php
// Create a cURL handle
$ch = curl_init('http://www.example.com/');
// Execute
curl_exec($ch);
// Check HTTP status code
if (!curl_errno($ch)) {
switch ($http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE)) {
case 200: # OK
break;
default:
echo 'Unexpected HTTP code: ', $http_code, "\n";
}
}
// Close handle
curl_close($ch);
?>

Microsoft Azure get access token API not working with cURL/Ruby but works with powershell

I am simply trying to get an access token from client id, client secret and tenant ID. Following powershell command works successfully
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT/oauth2/token?api-version=1.0 -Method Post -Body #{"grant_type" = "client_credentials"; "resource" = "https://management.core.windows.net/"; "client_id" = "CLIENTID"; "client_secret" = "SECRET" }
But this curl doesn't work
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "grant_type=client_credentials&resource=https://management.core.windows.net/&client_id=CLIENTID&client_secret=SECRET" "https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT/oauth2/token?api-version=1.0"
Neither this ruby script
require 'json'
require 'typhoeus'
url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/TENANT/oauth2/token?api-version=1.0'
params = "grant_type=client_credentials&resource=https://management.core.windows.net/&client_id=CLIENTID&client_secret=SECRET"
HEADERS = {
"Content-Type" => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
}
resp = Typhoeus::Request.post(url, body: params, headers: HEADERS)
I am following this link. Any clues why neither of curl / ruby works ?
Thanks in advance
I tried to reproduce your issue successfully, and I discovered that the issue was caused by curl without OpenSSL and Typhoeus request without setting ssl_verifypeer: false.
So please follow this to check via curl --version and install openssl libraries on your environment.
Here is my sample code.
require "typhoeus"
url = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/<tanet-id>/oauth2/token?api-version=1.0'
params = "grant_type=client_credentials&resource=https://management.core.windows.net/&client_id=<client-id>&client_secret=<client-key>"
headers = {
"Content-Type" => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
}
request = Typhoeus.post(url, body: params, headers: headers, ssl_verifypeer: false)
puts request.code, request.body
Hope it helps.

Piping emails from postfix under Plesk to Ostickets helpdesk

I'm trying to pipe support emails from my production mail server (Plesk 12 and Postfix) to send them to another VPS hosting my helpdesk installation, I have chosen ostickets helpdesk for many reasons (Open source,PHP/MySQL...)
So, the idea is to trigger email reception on some adresses such as contact#company.com, support#company.com... then resend them to ostickets via its API in order to create a new ticket there.
I tried this way
http://blog.absolutedisaster.co.uk/osticket-plesk-9-postfix-pipe-mail-to-a-progr/
It explains how to create a pipe to trigger email, lunch php script ...etc
Because of some permission issues, I kept all this configuration and change just the last thing : php script
So I've replaced this php script by a simple bash script doing the same thing : send a request to API to create a new ticket via CURL.
Now In my production mail server the pipe is recognized and the email is trigged successfully :
The same in the other side, osticket API is receiving the request:
The problem is that the http response is 400 as you can see, which means ans error code #66 in ostickets (malformed email).
So, I think the problem is in my bash script :
exec curl --header 'X-API-Key: API_KEY_HERE' --user-agent 'osTicket API Client v1.7' --data - 'http://support.company.com/api/tickets.email'
the original PHP script I have replaced by this is :
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?php
# Configuration: Enter the url and key. That is it.
# url => URL to api/tickets.email e.g http://yourdomain.com/support/api/tickets.email
# key => API's Key (see admin panel on how to generate a key)
#
$config = array(
'url'=>'http://support.company.com/api/tickets.email',
'key'=>'API_KEY_HERE'
);
#pre-checks
function_exists('file_get_contents') or die('upgrade php >=4.3');
function_exists('curl_version') or die('CURL support required');
#read stdin (piped email)
$data=file_get_contents('php://stdin') or die('Error reading stdin. No message');
#set timeout
set_time_limit(10);
#curl post
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $config['url']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'osTicket API Client v1.7');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( 'Expect:', 'X-API-Key: '.$config['key']));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$result=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//Use postfix exit codes...expected by MTA.
$code = 75;
if(preg_match('/HTTP\/.* ([0-9]+) .*/', $result, $status)) {
switch($status[1]) {
case 201: //Success
$code = 0;
break;
case 400:
$code = 66;
break;
case 401: /* permission denied */
case 403:
$code = 77;
break;
case 415:
case 416:
case 417:
case 501:
$code = 65;
break;
case 503:
$code = 69;
break;
case 500: //Server error.
default: //Temp (unknown) failure - retry
$code = 75;
}
}
exit($code);
?>
What is missing in my bash script ? (especially the stdin input)
thank you so much,
UPDATE
The problem was indeed in the bash script, here is the solution I came up with:
#!/bin/bash
data=`cat -`
exec curl --header 'X-API-Key: API_KEY_HERE' --user-agent 'osTicket API Client v1.7' --data "$data" 'http://support.company.com/api/tickets.email'

Using cURL to upload POST data with files

I would like to use cURL to not only send data parameters in HTTP POST but to also upload files with specific form name. How should I go about doing that ?
HTTP Post parameters:
userid = 12345
filecomment = This is an image file
HTTP File upload:
File location = /home/user1/Desktop/test.jpg
Form name for file = image (correspond to the $_FILES['image'] at the PHP side)
I figured part of the cURL command as follows:
curl -d "userid=1&filecomment=This is an image file" --data-binary #"/home/user1/Desktop/test.jpg" localhost/uploader.php
The problem I am getting is as follows:
Notice: Undefined index: image in /var/www/uploader.php
The problem is I am using $_FILES['image'] to pick up files in the PHP script.
How do I adjust my cURL commands accordingly ?
You need to use the -F option:
-F/--form <name=content> Specify HTTP multipart POST data (H)
Try this:
curl \
-F "userid=1" \
-F "filecomment=This is an image file" \
-F "image=#/home/user1/Desktop/test.jpg" \
localhost/uploader.php
Catching the user id as path variable (recommended):
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-F "data=#test.mp3" http://mysuperserver/media/1234/upload/
Catching the user id as part of the form:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-F "data=#test.mp3;userid=1234" http://mysuperserver/media/upload/
or:
curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
-F "data=#test.mp3" -F "userid=1234" http://mysuperserver/media/upload/
Here is my solution, I have been reading a lot of posts and they were really helpful. Finally I wrote some code for small files, with cURL and PHP that I think its really useful.
public function postFile()
{
$file_url = "test.txt"; //here is the file route, in this case is on same directory but you can set URL too like "http://examplewebsite.com/test.txt"
$eol = "\r\n"; //default line-break for mime type
$BOUNDARY = md5(time()); //random boundaryid, is a separator for each param on my post curl function
$BODY=""; //init my curl body
$BODY.= '--'.$BOUNDARY. $eol; //start param header
$BODY .= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="sometext"' . $eol . $eol; // last Content with 2 $eol, in this case is only 1 content.
$BODY .= "Some Data" . $eol;//param data in this case is a simple post data and 1 $eol for the end of the data
$BODY.= '--'.$BOUNDARY. $eol; // start 2nd param,
$BODY.= 'Content-Disposition: form-data; name="somefile"; filename="test.txt"'. $eol ; //first Content data for post file, remember you only put 1 when you are going to add more Contents, and 2 on the last, to close the Content Instance
$BODY.= 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' . $eol; //Same before row
$BODY.= 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64' . $eol . $eol; // we put the last Content and 2 $eol,
$BODY.= chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($file_url))) . $eol; // we write the Base64 File Content and the $eol to finish the data,
$BODY.= '--'.$BOUNDARY .'--' . $eol. $eol; // we close the param and the post width "--" and 2 $eol at the end of our boundary header.
$ch = curl_init(); //init curl
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'X_PARAM_TOKEN : 71e2cb8b-42b7-4bf0-b2e8-53fbd2f578f9' //custom header for my api validation you can get it from $_SERVER["HTTP_X_PARAM_TOKEN"] variable
,"Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=".$BOUNDARY) //setting our mime type for make it work on $_FILE variable
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/1.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0'); //setting our user agent
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "api.endpoint.post"); //setting our api post url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $BOUNDARY.'.txt'); //saving cookies just in case we want
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // call return content
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); navigate the endpoint
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); //set as post
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $BODY); // set our $BODY
$response = curl_exec($ch); // start curl navigation
print_r($response); //print response
}
With this we should be get on the "api.endpoint.post" the following vars posted. You can easily test with this script, and you should be receive this debugs on the function postFile() at the last row.
print_r($response); //print response
public function getPostFile()
{
echo "\n\n_SERVER\n";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SERVER['HTTP_X_PARAM_TOKEN']);
echo "/<pre>";
echo "_POST\n";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST['sometext']);
echo "/<pre>";
echo "_FILES\n";
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_FILEST['somefile']);
echo "/<pre>";
}
It should work well, they may be better solutions but this works and is really helpful to understand how the Boundary and multipart/from-data mime works on PHP and cURL library.
if you are uploading binary file such as csv, use below format to upload file
curl -X POST \
'http://localhost:8080/workers' \
-H 'authorization: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6ImFjY2VzcyIsInR5cGUiOiJhY2Nlc3MifQ.eyJ1c2VySWQiOjEsImFjY291bnRJZCI6MSwiaWF0IjoxNTExMzMwMzg5LCJleHAiOjE1MTM5MjIzODksImF1ZCI6Imh0dHBzOi8veW91cmRvbWFpbi5jb20iLCJpc3MiOiJmZWF0aGVycyIsInN1YiI6ImFub255bW91cyJ9.HWk7qJ0uK6SEi8qSeeB6-TGslDlZOTpG51U6kVi8nYc' \
-H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-binary '#/home/limitless/Downloads/iRoute Masters - Workers.csv'
After a lot of tries this command worked for me:
curl -v -F filename=image.jpg -F upload=#image.jpg http://localhost:8080/api/upload
The issue that lead me here turned out to be a basic user error - I wasn't including the # sign in the path of the file and so curl was posting the path/name of the file rather than the contents. The Content-Length value was therefore 8 rather than the 479 I expected to see given the legnth of my test file.
The Content-Length header will be automatically calculated when curl reads and posts the file.
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/xml" --data "#test.xml" -v -X POST https://<url>/<uri/
...
< Content-Length: 479
...
Posting this here to assist other newbies in future.
As an alternative to curl, you can use HTTPie, it'a CLI, cURL-like tool for humans.

Here is how to correctly escape arbitrary filenames of uploaded files with bash:
#!/bin/bash
set -eu
f="$1"
f=${f//\\/\\\\}
f=${f//\"/\\\"}
f=${f//;/\\;}
curl --silent --form "uploaded=#\"$f\"" "$2"
save all sent files to folder:
php file on host. u.php:
<?php
$uploaddir = 'C:/VALID_DIR/';
echo '<pre>';
foreach ($_FILES as $key => $file) {
if(!isset($file) || !isset($file['name'])) continue;
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . basename($file['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "$key file > $uploadfile .\n";
} else {
echo " Error $key file.\n";
}
}
print_r($_FILES);
print "</pre>";?>
Usage from client:
curl -v -F filename=ff.xml -F upload=#ff.xml https://myhost.com/u.php
This is worked for me.
My VM crashed it has only internet connection.
I recovered some files this way.
